memories of summer ...

Franz (Baden, Austria) on 4 December 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

# 10 - "iceland summer" (courtesy of SN) - members of my group hiding their heads in the bushes in order to escape the millions of midges that would fly up their nostrils and down their throats ...
you can see the tiny dots against the dark clothes, particularly with the person on the left!

in the spirit of "silly tuesday" !!

Ha! Very surreal performance. Let's hope there are not any other insects inside the bushes!

Oh dear, I would not like that ... maybe a handkerchief mask would help?
It made for a good shot for ST, though. ;D

Wow I would of thought this would make it worse!! Very silly for Tuesday haha :-)

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

What a silly view! It would seem counterproductive to stick one's head in a bush to protect themselves from the midges. A great ST contribution!
