I don't think we're in Oz anymore, Toto

Your title and my thoughts reverberate. I have an impression that Japanese people have a fascination with robots. I remember reading a very long time ago that they had a robot playing a real piano and I found that fascinating. I did not find a video with that but here is a

Seeing this one, it does bring that wide smile.  Just excellent!

Jack,

Wonderful street shot with great colors & perfect title.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks for taking the time to comment on this picture. I took it the other day while bicycling to one of my classes. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, which I've quoted before, "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings."

I like this a lot.  The real robots are in that big building down the street.

No, the real robots are manning the phones at United Airlines. I know because I talked to one yesterday. And truly "...if they only had a brain".

There's an intentional robot and a non-intentional one comprised of the orange cone and the bigger sign. The woman on the bicycle shows life and how photos capture timing. The geometry is framed and is yours. The foliage is like a big wig on the robot. Everything plays its part. I hate to bring up an esoteric philosopher like Wittgenstein, but as long as we're quoting, he began his first major text with, "The world is all that is the case."

Hi Jack, this is brilliant - you have a special way of seeing objects and places and creating art in the most unlikely of places! This just works on so many levels. Great work. Sarah.
