Robert's Ramblings

In this image all is not as it seems.

In fact you would have a very hard time indeed filling these glasses. They are actually hanging under a high shelf as is typically found in many bars. It is interesting that by removing the context, ie the surround features which would have made the orientation obvious, we immediately see a glass ready to fill instead.

... Sláinte!

Gently pressing down on delicate skin this gift seemed far weightier that I would have imagined.

Metal and stone, made with artistry, given with love and worn with pride. I would have thought it would lay there on an unblemished surface. Instead I see the burden.
