Spin me a tale

[imomus]

I'm spending the day on ICE trains, getting from Berlin to Holland, then performing in the evening, wearing funny clothes and making stuff up.



I planned to give Click Opera a holiday today, but at the last minute I thought I'd post this photo and ask you, dear reader, to make stuff up yourself: a short (fifty words or so?) narrative related in some way to the picture.

I won't say anything at this stage about what the photo is, who took it, who's in it, where or why it came about. Think of it as a Rorschach onto which you can project whatever you like -- a rumination, a story about the characters, a joke, a piece of philosophising, a weather forecast, a sci-fi scenario, a haiku, a fashion report. Be creative, be kind, give me something interesting to read when my iPod crackles to life in the Dutch wifi!

Frugal chic pervades this years festivals as style conscious hip-sters abandon colored and patterned wellington boots in favour of more traditional mono coloured varieties. The demure head scarf also makes a come back with the younger festival groovers. These recessionary times have witnessed a trend away from branded high street fashion towards down home functionality and recycled fabrics. This trend is also picked up in the culinary sphere with a marked increase in bring your own picnic feasts relying on home produced food. Hunting and fishing have also seen a return to favour and in a strange twist younger generations are looking to their grandparents for pointers in these newly energised outdoor pursuits.
