Ok, it's a first. A photo on Opacity that's actually made me laugh out loud!

What a relief.

(See what I did there? Hmm?! *Groan!*)

I think those flowers are fabric. Looks like the stems are wire...

Amazing shot though. Are they lilies etched into the top corners of the slate?

I adore the bustling feel of this shot. You're there on a mission, and the motion captured here really gets that across. Fabulous :)

Isn't this location in England...? Funny that the photo should be called 'In the Fall' and not 'In the Autumn'.

I think there could be a lot less mystery behind this picture than first meets the eye. The frame doesn't look particularly old (we had a set of 6 in our house when I was a kid....I'm 28 ;), and the fact that it's titled leads me to believe that it's simply a decorative picture postcard. My Nan has Victorian postcards all over the place. Landscapes, portraits, animals, manors...the lot. They were really cheap and prolific; chiefly from market stalls all over the UK :)

The building is in the autumn of its life. Incredible colours, Motts.

That's exactly the kind of thing my best mate and I would've scrawled when we were in our early teens. Complete with the cute little star and the cack-handed attempt at arty writing :p

Brilliant photo though; I adore the way the light draws your eye up to the (albeit a bit daft) dark statement.

Yeah...I'm going with the 'cat died peacefully in its sleep' theory.

If I don't, I may have to track the b*stards down who did this and excecute a slow and painful death. Which is not good for my pacifistic morals.
