Re: sure is quiet

I don't often offer criticism because my own photography isn't that great. And I 
don't much care to be a "me too" ...


Which is hard sometimes, because y'all have probably figured out by now, I have 
an opinion on just about everything, and I'm not shy about expressing them.

Pffft! Try , 1975, by Maestro Mose

I agree. I rarely get comments from strangers on Facebook, since my posts are 
“friends only.” I try to participate here, but it’s rare that I get meaningful 
comments or more than two. You are an exception, and I always appreciate your 
comments.

Tooo quiet… A bit more than half the number of posts we had during the same 
week last year.

It’s become unusual to get more than two or three comments on a photo (or 
series of them). This makes me sad, because this group has helped make my 
photography what it is (for better or worse?).

According to pdml.net there are 527 of us. Where is everyone?

Not entirely true.

When my girlfriend and I were caravan touring in North Wales
(with an itinerary set from information in the Good Beer Guide)
we ended up at one pub which was basically just the front room
of a house; beer was obtained via a hatchway to the kitchen
where there were a couple of casks sitting on a shelf.
The pub was a couple of miles up a hill (along a very narrow
road; there wouldn't have been anywhere to turn round).
When we walked in we got some very suspicious looks - not
only were we strangers, but one was a woman!  (the only other
woman there was the person serving the drinks). When we asked
for two pints you could sense the tension in the room subside.

Well, all pubs have at least one bar ;-)

Which is impressive when you consider how low the bar is around here.

I guess it's time to stop making animal noises and get a drink.
