You are right SW. Never looked at it that way. Now that I think of it....I also have a Mosin Nagant made in the USA for the Russians, captured by the Germans in WW 1 and after that either sold too or captured by the Finns. Wish that rifle could take. Met vriendelijke groet, Martin. |

Those are match target shooting glasses. The insert for the master eye is a diopter. Old time shooting magazines all featured an ad for a similar device that attached to your regular glasses by a small suction cup. I never used one of those in my competitive shooting days, but I did put "blinders" on my shooting glasses. Any perceived advantage could result in an extra point or two from a psychological standpoint. SW |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk It's an "art form" I really don't understand at my tender age. Things are 'dressed up' to look like they are working models from the steam locomotive era. I think. I'm not much into it, myself. SW |

That pretty much covers it. A branch of Science Fiction/Fantasy. Gaslamp Fantasy. Depending on how 'purist' you are about it, pretty much anything goes. Steampowered rayguns. Clockwork blimps. Some of it is pure unadulterated crap. Some of it is fun. |

I didn't know that. I guess I'm never too old to learn something new. Thanks for your replies. Personally I like art that was created between 1920 and 1940. It is called "art deco". I like the little statues from that era, but what I like most is the furniture. I can't explain why............I just like these pieces of art. Met vriendelijke groet, Martin |

Mario, I think you're not just "sorta an art-teest". I've seen the picture of Pete that you drew. IMHO you are a true artist. Met vriendelijke groet, Martin |
