An old photo I have never posted before. Taken at the Old Autos Show in Bothwell, Ontario.

Again I like the big version. You can click the pic or type Z to see if you agree.

What strikes me is the body language of the fellow - "If you don't like it you can go to Hell" or something of that sort. And there is an absurd quality to the whole thing. Oh, I suppose that the chairs are set up to watch or umpire some youth endeavor (endeavour?) , but still....

And don't you need three chairs of some color for the next term in the sequence? Then five of the next. Reminds me of visiting the Campo Santo in Pisa. There is an old statue of Fibonacci in there with both hands badly damaged. A loud American tourist remarked to his wife, "Mathematician? Well, he didn't count on his fingers," and brayed.

He is a mystery, Bob. If you blow the photo up he seems not to be looking at me. This was at a car show, either the Old Autos show in Bothwell, Ontario or WAMBO in Wallaceburg, Ontario (for antique cars, motorcycles, boats, and planes). For the last few years they've been operating on the same weekend, so there's a lot of travel back and forth over the 60 km between the two shows. So maybe these were just for resting after all the driving and trampimg around. To me they seemed to have some ceremonial significance. Either that or they were an art installation.

I can't see any fingers here, either. Perhaps another artistic detail/allusion/whatever.

An intriguing image. I think it needs two pink at the left next, but he's clearly not about to countenance that. :-)

I agree, George -- I think this is a complete work.

Makes me think to musical chairs "Going to Jerusalem" which we played at birthday parties when we were kids...

I hadn't thought of that, Christa. Thanks. I wonder if that was in the offing.
