don't think i got it (as for the newts, i read 'news' and copypasted 'newts, haha), but rickety and german, that fits, yes.
though towels are mostly swedish. if one considers ikea to be truly swedish.

is that your pool? or are you a pool-boy? in both cases, you owe us quite some insights ;-)

^ it is neither my pool, nor am i a pool boy. but i am open to offers.

newts? did i miss sth?

(both have its place. but i think both would be better with a simple white border. more - static?)

^ i wondered about the border issue, but then rejected it. my poor head couldn't cope with the many choices.

^ As for the newts, just look to the right. This pool was full of floating (dead) mice and struggling (alive) newts. So i saved the newts with the old net and moved them to a nice pond where they promptly died from over exposure to oxygen. There were also some towels on a rickety sunbed: i presume they were german's? ;)

In my humble opinion this is a prize-winning photograph. At first I didn't like the out of focus foreground but it has grown on me, it's very good. God I'm so boring, sorry, I should be making some silly comment about newts.

^ if it makes you happy i took it with the foreground in focus and the white chair blurry, but it looked more confused and decreased the ambiguity. (in my humble opinion) i'm not sure if that reply made sense, so i'll shut up now too. ps// i used that old net head to save about 30 newts. lucky little fellas!
