Michael, there are no "good" Tolzes in Germany, regardless of how much I'd like them to be erected ( I think erection is right word for the moment )... So they're all trully bad in any conceivable respect... I am not sure if thishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_Bacchus_%28Caravaggio%29 might help, but it's insanity of what you can buy when you don't actually need it, LOL ! As for German, "Bad" is "bath" in English, though I never saw any baths over ther, not even a single public toilet... Very sad story...

So the question is, what is a "vakhanaly?" For sure, it does not look or sound like a German word. Perhaps, looking at this somewhat abstract composition, one could insert the word "plethora." (from greek and latin: an excessive amount) ikn its place. After all, we have a scene here which can offer a whole slew of choices on many different levels. It could be simply multiple choices of what to wear. It could be a whole other set of choices pertaining to sex and sex play. Further, looking at the tonal range, it could be a photographic choice of colors. But most probably, knowing the evil one and how he thinks... we are talking about choices of interpretation... choices on how to view the world and how, looking from the other end of the glass, the world views us. It is certainly a balanced, but a mixed picture... uniquely framed with inner frames... full of abstractions yet laced with clearly defined lacey items.... and, after all, is not that what life is all about? Perhaps this photo deals with "life's" choices. Not surprised that such a scene can be inspired from the wornderful Alpine counties where the good powerful masculine men of this harsh climatic region prance around it tight little shorts and yodel to the tune of adelweis. One question o evil one: Since the scene is from Bad Tolz, Germany, does this mean the choices are bad choices...or... are you inferring that if there is a "Bad" Tolz Germany, that there must exist a "Good" Tolz Germany where all your nutty dreams become reality... and you need a portal, like this scene, to gain entrance to that world? One can never read in too much to such a work as this. Oy. Michael.
