These are a few of my favourite things...

Just randomly, I thought I'd post up one of my favourite pictures ever.




I love that picture. I love the way you can almost feel the heat, feel the crackle in the air. I love the movement, the way you can see the tiger's nervousness in his bunched neck muscles. I love the fact it reminds me of the monsoon season in Nepal, where you could bathe in the rain, it was so warm. I love the fact that it has a tiger, which is normally shown as something big and scary as the rather frightened kid in all this.

I think I identify rather strongly with that tiger at times.

I think I also love that picture because I like tigers, and thunderstorms, and the tropics. All three together - how can that be wrong?

I don't suppose anyone else wants to share one of their favourite pictures with me?

I adore it. I've been to the National Gallery just to stand and look at it.

I wanted to find you another tyger picture. A specific one. I have a good print of it in a book at home. It's the Austin Osman Spare one and very, very lovely.

However, it doesn't appear to be on the web and I should do some work.

I guess.

Sorry.
