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've always liked Turner. I know he's not that fashionable, but I think he's great. The light in that picture is just incredible.

Yes. I like. Thank you for sharing. :)

There's an exhibition at the Tate Britain at the moment called "Turner Whistler Monet", which taimatsu and I were intending to go to last Saturday, but time and budgetary concerns limited us.
