Nicely done!

In case you have been following the World Cup Soccer in SA and know of all the controversial decisions as to whether the balls crossed the lines of not... There is a joke doing the round that basically goes something like this: Someone asked FIFA why the chicken crossed the road... and FIFA replied, "No, it did not." :-)

Kind regards Nico

Thanks, Jano. She has been out of town for a week, and I just showed her the photo. She, of course, recognized the source right away!

I took the valence off the kitchen window, and temporarily moved it to a more convenient location for a photo shoot. I back lit the cloth with my flash unit, attached to the camera with a 3-foot extension cord. Then I put the valence back, so you don't need to tell my wife what I did. ;-)
