Variation 9 (Adagio) " *Nimrod* "
Augustus E. Jaeger, Elgar's best friend. It is said that this variation, as well
as an attempt to capture what Elgar saw as Jaeger's noble character, depicts a
night-time walk the two of them had, during which they discussed Ludwig van
Beethoven. The name of the variation punningly refers to an Old Testament
patriarch described as a mighty hunter, the name Jaeger being German for hunter.
He's a nice, polite fellow who takes his photography seriously. But I would
argue the merit of posting it on this site where precious few people fully
appreciate it. I think most of the posters here find greater amusement arguing
politics and directing personal attacks at one another. Tommy, try the Nikon
Challenge for best picture. I've tried my hand at it several times with my 35mm
cameras, good fun and incredible competiton from the world over.
Hello dear John Winston, dear 90130, and dear woberto!
I can't understand why "Tommy has around 75% of images in the top rating
image folder". It is one of mystery in #plus613 I think too.
If I had a lot of fans, I'm very happy...but it is unbelievable for me too.
Was it all George Bush's fault??? (joke! only a joke! sorry!)
Umm...I want to use Nikon. (Now Sony F828 & T5)
When I took pictures, I'm in very earnestly. Finish for took pictures, I stop my
breath for 10 seconds at least every times. It's my tell in here.
But woberto

I think it's just great picture.
I was in Nagaoka. Not in Yuzawa.
And it's not original pic of you.
But I want to say for you "Thank you!"
