Sharing Akira's doubts. I am used to have my white roses blooming by December 24th, but the "Japanese" apple tree is joining the chorus now, first case in 15 winters...

Thank you, Christtian!

Nice to know about the joining forces of the symbolic flowers of both culture.  It's like looking inside of Messiaen's brain.

 :)  CHristmas is *the* season to listen to yet another set of recordings, e.g. Vingt regards by Martin Helmchen, or the complete organ works by Colin Andrews (all on iTunes)

...Therese and myself in a rehearsal space close to Sans train station, Barcelona.
Lovely - Very good composition, movement and overall ambience in the scene!
She's really flexible, wow and both of you look really amazing, true male female union ;)

The toes coming up as you keep balance is telling of how difficult this is,,, Magnificent!

Thank you all for the nice comments. The D3S really has nice colors. This image is treated by color profile (landscape, I think) and little more.


 
As the thread has a point of showing the passing of time...
  I have received today a few images of a rehearsal of Therese and myself in a duet by Ramón Oller. The photographer is Ferran Sanchez, now in Belgium. He is scanning the film and has been so kind as to share it with the company. Were taken November 8th 1999 witha Nikon F90x and a 35-70mm, at f4 and 1/50th. The film was Tmax 3200 developed D76 at 21º for 18 minutes -I´ve got this from the photographer- In the image, Therese and myself in a rehearsal space close to Sans train station, Barcelona.
What a great shot !  Back in time.

Fons, Airy, many women would love to have a dress with the tones and vitality of these blooms
