I look at the details but rarely let my mind loose to go any further. I guess I should 'stop' for a few seconds and do that. Thanks again for stopping me dead in my tracks.

Your last close-up images brings my focus to the textures and small details. It makes me wonder, where was this piece nailed? What stories could it tell?
