Sorry, Chris, didn't mean to come across as suggesting you were in the
wrong or anything of the sort. I was just expressing my own peculiar
predilections, apropos of nothing, really.
Your reference in a different post to the softness of the light in
England and Europe is interesting to me as I have never seen light as
I experienced it in England and also in Paris in the spring of 1973.
I was thinking it was something I had allowed my mind to develop into
a fiction or fantasy, but now I think not.
Peace,
Joel W.
