My Dear Helle ...
These lovely little pots are crucibles for melting silver. They come to you from Virginia City, Nevada, just to wish you a very happy birthday! Just a moment ago they were dancing a bit and singing a song for you, but I believe they're done now. They haven't moved for several minutes. Just imagine it, though! They've been waiting absolutely ages to say "hello" to you, and they're very excited that it's finally their turn. :)
I hope you've had a wonderful day!
Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Helle!

Very cool capture of these interesting and historic and perhaps, hysterical crucibles. This is a wonderful gift for Helle
Wonderful :) I love dancing and singing crucibles! Happy birthday, Helle :)
I just signed off, and boom: You uploaded this. So I ran back (through the mountains and over the sea...) to comment on it, and wish our dear helle another happy birthday! These pots may have been dancing---which is great---but I'm so happy they stopped because they made a splendid photo. The molten metal (and whatever else is petrified down the sides) is just scrumptious. And you got your usual deep shadows and olden textures; and beautiful light and blasts of light against the painting (which I love---I mean the light, not the painting itself). And your gilded-feeling on the frame's detail...The image is soaked in aged dignity, and it's inward, and the crucibles do look like they just ran in to pose for the shot. A beautiful dedi for Helle, to whom I join with you to say, once more, Happy Birthday Helle! I hope your day was wonderful to you, and so, the rest of the season! (Should I wish her "hygge"? Andrea used that word, and now you used a whole sentence! I had to go to the dictionary TWICE today!) A beautiful piece, tara, in which you have a way of 'aging' sights with dignity and intimacy. Gennemstegt! Happy BDay, Helle! (I looked up gennemstegt. I don't know a word of Danish!)
Wow, beautiful shot, I love the colors, textures, and what's going on with those crucibles is just incredible!
What Mark said. All of it. Darn the both of you!!! LOL! I love the warm light on this! But I would have really loved to see the dancing crucibles (sounds like a rock group, doesn't it?)
Love the colors here. This is such a rich and warm picture. Now, I need to know your trick for persuading things to stop the dancing and singing. I believe I could get many more and better pictures if I can get the animals to stop dancing and singing..............😐
Splendid capture!
As a collector of Japanese ceramics I love the markings on these. They have a very Asian, almost Raku, feel about them. Apparently they have been celebrating Helle's birthday a little too enthusiastically. The one second from right looks a little tipsy. A wonderful image and birthday gift.
This has to be one of the most unusual photographs I've ever seen. Absolutely inspired!
Very suggestive photo !!!!!!
These were interesting, made me pause and look closer at them, the colors are really neat. Fantastic work.
WOOHOOO! What a wonderful bunch of dancing pots. As I do love pots, I would certainly love Dancing pots even moreand even dancing pots with patina. That is triple beautiful. They look like a happy dream and I do love the texture they have, like some kind of lave running over the edges, still bubbling while they slowly run down along the pot. And the old framed Painting in the background fits perfect in color and HUE with the pots. Thank you so much Tara for this wonderful Birthday card :-)))) Hope you are still having a happy Holiday :-)
Interesting shot and strong composition.
Nicely done Tara, you managed to sell these, even though they are not for sale, erm...Well you know what I mean :D
Wonderful work!!
All is already said, but Tara, this pots are a wonder and the composition is brilliant! and Your dedication is so warm:) reading Helle, i can see how she is so thrilled and excited, lol:) So Wonderful, all !
Amazing capture and dedication Tara. Happy birthday Helle. God bless.
Well, darn...... Looks like I'm late to the party again... They're just sitting there looking tired - and quite lovely at the same time! I'd have enjoyed watching them dance around, but then I'd have to look at that bottle again, wondering what the heck was in it... (you know, the bottle I was drinking out of when Ranpha appeared..) This is a lovely photo, Tara, and I'm sure these crucibles could tell a tale or two - when they aren't singing the birthday song, that is! Happy Birthday, Helle!
Excellent textures and lighting.
Belated Happy Birthday to you.. Interesting shot Tara, good choice! Happy New Year to you and Bill Rob
This looks really nice Tara. I like the composition and the colors!
Amazing, what a mood is coming out of this wonderful capture, with all the earth-tones so delicate and just so (g)old! A most fantastic present for our Birthday-friend.
