  1. Truly an arresting photo. Is it a bodysuit, a trick of the light, a sister from another planet? I commend you on posting the best images on the web. Your only rival is the equally divine Bibliodyssey. Thanks ever so!

  2. Nancy- I think this is a pattern occurring over the body- almost a naturally occurring phenom- to the far right the pattern obscures more. I wonder? and that is high praise - never rivaling Bibliodyssey-and thank You.

  3. Great picture. I learn from this that Fonssagrives must have been the inspiration for a photographer I've worked with called Sølve Sundbø. He did some fantastic spot pictures xx
