This world is so wide that, even if you flitted around and around it, you would never reach the end of it. This blog is a collage of more or less literary and humorous, outlandish or sometimes even serious glimpses at this great wide world.

Artistic games
Old games played with new tools at the Tate Modern in London. Posted for Ruby Tuesday thanks to qualifying clothes.
It really is wonderful how the read gives interest to the sort of otherwise gray scene. There are two red chairs there too besides the clothing. Interesting shot.
Of course I didn't have the sense to click on the photo until after I commented... I just love the game with the fruit as chess pieces. Too clever. You would think it might be confusing to play that way - but then playing with every peice looking the same must be a challenge too.

The red highlights really stand out in an otherwise somewhat colourless setting. The red also draw attention to the players. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAnn's got it right, Leonard! So it's NOT chess? So glad you are plying "Ruby Tuesday." It was yours originally... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting, Ann and Mary!
ReplyDeleteThe game in the foreground is checkers, while the one played with the fruits is chess :)
Good Morning from Mississippi! Hope you have a great week. Keep up the good work here! Wonderful red post!
ReplyDeletethe spots of red are stunning! I love the way the red chair back is clear on one side and then another bit of chair is peeking out on the other side
ReplyDeletethis is a great photo!!
