Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

i'm listening to tubemusic...link is down on the right there...it's a Korea net based new age music site....just easy listening....nice station...i've been working tonight on a twist on the concept that elgar used in his enigma variations....typically when one writes a series of variations on a theme....theme and variations by"whoever"...the structure is that they first state the theme and present a series of variations on that theme...the neat thing about the enigma variations is that elgar never states the theme and what it was has been the source of much speculation and debate......well the enhanced photo above is part of my own twisted enigma variations...i have an original picture...the theme if you will...and that picture above is the first variation on the theme...i spent sometime this afternoon and evening working on more variations on the theme....and will from time to time post the different variations but never the original......to most it will be relatively obvious who it is, but the real person,the true image will always be somewhat hidden....i think it parallels nicely the whole idea i have for the blog...while from time to time i'm sure i reveal much of myself here...probably sometimes more then what i intent...yet i never will reveal the whole man....i'm not sure that that is possible anyway...over a medium in which even with web cams we can never truly met face to face....but some of what you see is real...some is altered...and much is hinted at possibly but never truly revealed....
