Do you take requests Martina? For some reason I want to give you a quote and see what you do with it... dont know why....

Joan Elizabeth said...

Your last two posts have simply delighted me. The marriage of quote and image has been superb.

AB said...

Now I see how you knew about Amphicars! Useful if your car should fall off your boat.

Martina said...

Sean, might be fun ... just mail me the quote and I will wait for the muses to kiss me :-D

Joan Elizabeth, :-) ... sometimes it's easier to find quotes in not-so-literaly-challenging texts, ;-)

AB, that's always funny: I see an Amphicar for the first time in my life in Paris and three weeks later you are posting one on your blog ... they are following me uuuuh ... .

I keep looking at the photo and wonder.... How did they get the car up there?

Martina said...

Ulrica, where I live (near Rhine and Main river) we see many cargo ships with cars on them, usually they have a cran.

The shadow in the background of
this photo is intriguing.

Love the concept of your blog.
Plus you offer an interesting
reading list.

Martina said...

Cynthia, thx for coming by and your comments - perhaps one day I will use one of your haiku or poems as quotes, ;-)
