Like furtive figures John, nice capture
HFF and a great weekend

Thanks, Roger, and a good weekend to you, I had some interpretations of the figures, too, but they're a bit gruesome.

Oh, I do have a non-gruesome one: pilgrims struggling through the winter wind.

Dunkle Gestalten und rotes Licht
Und sie tanzen einen Tango

An interesting choice, aNNa, It overlaps with Roger's. My own interpretation is more benign but then I cab see that could easily be skulking about.

HFF, John! All well wrapped!

Thanks, Stephan. To me these bushes often look better in burlap.

Looks great, and these are only bushes with frost protection... HFF John.

Thanks, Christa, As I mentioned to Stefan, ro me these bushes often look better in burlap.

Looks cold !!
Happy FF and a peaceful weekend

Thanks, Jaap. and a peaceful weekend to you. This was taken a week after the big ice storm in 2014,so the burlap saved their branches from the ice storm. Many trees came down but they were generally bigger than the tree in this picture.

HFF-John mooi weekend samen met hun;-))

Thanks, Fred, and a good weekend to you.

What a super shot John. The fence is attractive and the 'figures' could give you a scare in the dark!!!!

HFF and have a good weekend

Thanks, Carol, and a good weekend to you. Sometimes these things scare me in the daylight.

Spooky looking characters John! Great photo. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

Thanks, David, and a great weekend to you.

I really liked the shrouded figures in this one John............it's fascinating that even though I know what they really are, I still see them as figures!

In the dark, I can imagine they'd be quite scary looking!

As I mentioned to Carol, Keith, these things can scare me during the day.

Interesting figures. HFF and a good weekend!

Thanks, Gudrun, and a good weekend to you.

Those swathed trees always suggest to me to anthropomorphize them. These are no different. The second and third are talking to each other, and perhaps the fourth and fifth are, also. The right-most figure is minding his or her own business, and determinedly moving on. Okay, I should have written fiction for my career, but too late for that, though I am writing a non-fiction book. Two of the3m, in fact.

There's a coincidence, Bob -- I'm reading two non-fiction books. Folks! I'm here all week. Seriously, can you discuss what the books are about? No need to if you don't feel like it. Just askin. I can wait,

Yes, I think we are incapable of not interpreting the look of these things. To me they're like medieval pilgrims fighting their way through a winter headwind,

John, I have no idea what you're reading, of course. Whether or not I could discuss them intelligently, who knows? I probably haven't read them, though.

wel seen, have a nice weekend

Thanks, Trudy, and a good finish to the weekend to you.

A fascinating scene behind this fence, John. I'll go along with your assessment above. Slightly belated HFF, have a good weekend .

Thanks, George, and a belated good weekend to you.

I like the treelike design of the fence but the shrouded greenery takes pride of place! (my 1st thought was women in burqas...)
Belated hFF and a good weekend!

They could well be women in burqas, Gudrun. Thanks, and a belated happy weekend to you.

At first sight, the wrapped bushes look like suspicious silhouettes. Therefore, the nice fence becomes a convenient barrier. Belated HFF, John!

Thanks, José. All the best for Subday and the week to come.

Sorry, Bob. I meant the books you're working on.

I used to get a lot of compliments about the articles on my website about statistics, so I thought I would try to write the first bestseller about statistics, The premise would be that in this Age of Information few of us know what information is. I quickly found out I wasn't smart enough to do that so abandoned my literary aspirations.

HFF!

Thanks, Annemarie.
