This weeks theem for the Gallery from Tara is : A novel idea. A photograph which you think represents a favourite book or novel or even children's tale.
I spent some time thinking about my favourite books. There are so many books to choose from as I'm a bit of a bookworm. I loved reading about Genghis Khan, but without a trip Mongolia, I'm lacking in photographic matter. One of my all time favourite books is called Aztec by Gary Jennings, but as the Aztecs no longer exist, I was stumped again.
I decided to go for this photograph. Some of you may have seen it before, but as it's the title of the book, I'm going to post it again.
The story of a search for the ideal utopia and personal fulfilment, only to find that life's problems don't all go away and in fact bring forth a multitude of new problems.
Guessed yet? It's The Beach by Alex Garland. It's such a shame they turned it into a film with Leonardo Di Caprio.
I hadn't seen your photo before. Made me chuckle. Where on earth did you get the little people from?
ReplyDeleteI got them, and more, from ebay. They're actually railway model figures. :)
