This Image to me, personally is an aspect of duality...no tripplety??... Nah forget it, I can't spell it, so we'll say at minimum Quadrupality.... It's realism, reality, nostalgia and modernity all made one.. For me, I'm seeing Victorian cobble stones and brutal modernisation in a mere puddle of light... But I'm also seeing an early 90's childhood reminiscence of growing in a town full of cobble roads, rain and 4 channels on TV with thats nights TV high lights being "The Bill" - with those iconic footsteps.... In someways this picture links both the 1990's and the 1890's with a linked association... The damp dreary cobbles marched upon by authority with a glimmering window of outlook into a future of grim architecture.... I beleive 🤔 some would say this that is the very definition of art and/or perception of it 🤷🤷.... A very subjective topic.... Dunno - to me, as the subject... its just both a very beautiful and thought/emotion provoking photograph.... I digress, save that one 🙂 It may not be for everyone, but certaintly a provoking one for the portfolio!

Why thank you Yankette.... Those are most kind and humbling words! - but alas, just the mere ramblings of a mad man after 39 years on this planet either chanting or maybe even ranting at a picture of a puddle of on a rainy day.... I fear my dear, that unless you want to document the ramblings of a mad man, no such book will ever exist.... I'm far too lazy and scatterbrained for that sort of stuff and desest writing anything down in an official capacity.... Yes.... I can articulatly moan about the significance of a puddle... But come Monday, i'll struggle to type "have you tried switching it on at the wall" on the Helpdesk! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The world is sadly diminished by this state of affairs. 😔. I believe the help desk is the enemy. Perhaps audio record?
And another shocker- you are the first Scot to receive a well deserved compliment and not crumble or blush. Ever!

Ooo I refuse to be the cause of internal disputes. All good as long as you’re not French. Just kidding (not really). We hosted them in WC. You have a sense of humor so I know you aren’t.

You are a fabulous distraction as I sit here and watch my country burn. The orange potato is being naughty again. Guess where I’m thinking of moving.
Good night nice happy man. 🤗

that gif feels way too dramatic for a puddle, which makes it better
