0012105 by Petronius, for the fraction of second it took me to identify the subject. Even after it clicked in, I do love the plasticity of the shapes and the feeling we get from the soft matter. There's an element of fun there too of course...

During the summer I was viewing the forum almost entirely on my iPhone via Forumrunner. The Gallery is not available there (or if it is I have yet to find it).
I think as many people are using iOs and Android devices and apps to view the forum their may be less frequency in viewing the Gallery or posting here.
I don't know... maybe I'm off on this one.
Thankfully, the beautiful work being posted sure has not changed. 🙂

When the Gallery first opened up Jon Claremont constantly tried to stir up the crowd here to participate and we were lucky to get 29 entries! There were a couple weeks we got 9 or 10. Richard Jenkinson tried for a long time also afterwards. Finally there, not too long ago, we were thriving with numbers in the 80's but lately it has dwindled again. The entries are so excellent that we need to keep viewership up. We need this kick in the rump now and then it's good for us. I'm positive that we will thrive again. Thanks for the nudge.
Adding to Andy's comment, while we were gone this past summer for 3 weeks I couldn't post from my i-Pad either, maybe it was just me.

Marc, thanks very much for mentioning my picture. It's been impossible to get on here - and (paid) work is dominating life at the moment. Some very impressive pictures indeed in this particular week.
