the perfect gun

let's do that to all of them! :)

I'll give you a 6 on both counts but I don't agree with your opinion. Nice shot though and it speaks your mind...which is ok.

Thanks, Dave, for the rating and your tolerance. It takes all kind to make this world go round - and that's a good thing! :)

How big is this sucker?

Shawn, the sucker is huge, about 5 feet wide, I think. It is sitting in front of the UN building in New York City. I never knew this, but the UN sits on international territory, so you basically leave the US when you visit the complex. It has its own stamps, sort of like the Vatican, and offers one hour tours, which are very interesting. Barb :)

But my kind of picture - very good!

 

Baerbel, may I have the honor to invite you on the celebration of my first anniversary?!

Tuxedo isn't obligatory! Thank you in advance for coming!

Thanks, Pierre, and I am glad tuxedos aren't mandatory - I think I would look quite silly in one! :)

great shot. pun intended. what captivates me is the juxtaposition of the tender green spring leaves (new life) as a backdrop against the cold blue metal of the weapon. very nicely done. regards, J.K.

Thank you, J.K., and yes, I also liked the peaceful back drop of the trees. In the other direction it would have been the UN building. :)

Fun image Barb - a now peaceful piece! I haven't been by the UN building in years. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the city.

Thank you, Jim. "Peaceful Piece" - why didn't I think of that?! It would have made a great title! :)

Symbolic.
