I was just thinking about Mikael´s picture from outside the cinema.
And when I click back to the front page, there is another small wonder to enjoy.
This blog thing is really exciting.
I love to see all these pictures and texts just pop up.
Without knowing anything in advance.
Magic stuff, as your picture!

Thinking of a song by Laurie Anderson

Excellent Birds

Flying Birds. Excellent Birds.
Watch them fly.
There they go.
Falling snow.
Excellent snow.
Here it comes.
Watch it fall.
Long words.
Excellent words.
You can hear them now.
This is the picture.
I'm sitting by the window.
Watching the snow fall.
I'm looking out.
And I'm moving.
Turning in time.
Jump up!
And I can land on my feet.
Look out! This is the picture.
This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture.
Looking out.
I'm watching now.
But when I see the future,
I close my eyes.
I can see it now.
I see pictures of people rising up.
I see pictures of people falling down.
I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads.
They're ready!
I see pictures of people rising up.
I see pictures of people falling down.
I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads.
They're ready!
They're looking out.
Look out!
They're watching out.
Watch out!
They're looking out.
Look out! They're watching out.
Watching watching out.
I see pictures of people.
I see pictures of people.
They're watching.
They're watching out.
Watch out.
I see pictures of people.
They're watching.
They're watching out.
I see pictures of people.
Watching. Watch out.
They're watching.
I see pictures of people.
Watching out. Watch out. Pictures of people. They're watching out.

Against the window perhaps and close to everything with this picture!

You're right Christofer, Piaf really comes to mind! This is one of my favourites among your work Jeanne. I love it!!!

Why have I never seen this before and what do I have to do to get my own framed copy? Why did no-one ever show me this picture when I felt that all the photos in the world could never prove that there is even the slightest chance of ever getting this feeling again?
