Thanks, all…

I’ve been reading the comments and finding myself nodding in agreement, or with appreciation as I came to look at something from a slightly different perspective. Great conversations, great feedback - particularly in that last post, “Is it me?”
Off I go to finish another book…
PEace,

The Hobbit, animated
by rasalvatore on Nov.02, 2009, under R. A. Salvatore
Does anyone remember the Rankin-Bass animated version of “The Hobbit”? Orson Bean starred as Bilbo Baggins…one thing about that excellent production that has stayed with me was the sense of whimsy it captured withint he framework of a more serious topic.
The colors of the Shire night, on the bridge above the stream, for example, were really saturated and beyond the expected spectrum. it drew me in and made me want to be there.
I would also argue that this is one reason World of Warcraft has so smashed its competitors. Many of hte other video games go for the grays and greens and browns of the real world in their quest for a near-real look. Blizzard threw that out the window with World of Warcraft and instead moved the color palates to the extreme ranges.
And again, it’s a world I want to visit.
