The keys of the hermit

His stay in the city was certainly of a temporary nature, the polite young man told the landlady. His employer had instructed him to represent the interests of the firm in the city for a month. To the landlady, this merely meant that her tenant was a respectable hardworking man who would pay his rent on time, keep the room clean and not receive indecent visitors. The tenant did not seem offended that the landlady could not pronounce his name. He had one single suitcase with no stickers from distant sunny shores and one small briefcase without initials.

The solution now causes an even greater conflict that can only be solved by believing in the impossible.

If you want to share any conclusions to your thoughts about it, feel free

i like how you look first on the hammer.... and then you see the broken mirror, that's just great!

Thanks

This is a really nice shot. Was the hammer put in there digitally? It doesn't seem to fit for some reason. I dunno.

I love the shot though!

Thanks. Nope, it was hanging by a string. As I mentioned in the description: the whole dilemma of the hammer belonging there or not is the point of the picture

~reinfected Dec 3, 2007

I know the hammer belongs in the picture lol.

But it just seemed like it was copied in there.

Glad to hear it wasn't.
