My first ever posted images. On RFF and in fact, anywhere else.
I have no idea how to go about this or what I am doing. So fingers, toes and eyes (mine and the cat's) are all crossed.
I did think of posting this in the Cats thread, but 'surrealist' seemed a better choice. All cats are after all, surreal.
This strange creature greets me often when I'm exploring the lanes in the urban kampungs of Surabaya. Very friendly, about seven years old, has sired generations of blue-eyed bob-tailed kittens in the neighborhood, and is affectionate known by the locals as That F***er.
I will now press all the requisite buttons and make a silent appeal to the universe.
If it succeeds, I will post more. This could become a pleasant habit.
Nikon D800, 28/2.8 D, set on A at f/8.

Trowulan, East Java. Supposedly the second largest Sleeping Buddha in SE Asia (the first is the iconic one in Bangkok.)
When I was there the chicken and I were the only two live things at the ashram.

An old rail statue in Surabaya, thought to be 1930s. The young unclothed gentleman is obviously Dutch, not Indonesian.

Two of me. Selfie taken in Melaka, Malaysia - two days before I had to fly to Australia for the Covid lockdown. It aptly sums up how I felt at that time, fragmented like that broken mirror.
Somewhere in one of my portable disks I have one image with three of me in it. But do you believe this, I can't find it. It may have 'surrealled' itself out of existence in the essentially two-ply dimensional sphere we more or less temporarily occupy.
I have just noticed the cracked part of the mirror looks like a map of Australia (sans Tasmania). Weird indeed.
I do wonder if whoever broke the mirror had to suffer the proverbial seven years' bad luck. It did bring me two years and four months of lockdown at home in Australia before I could return to my wandering life in Asia. Broken mirrors are lethal in some ways.

A good start at posting photos, D.U.
I especially like the cat (dog guys like cats, too) and the last one. The mirror photo fits well in the surreal category.

Strolling along the streets in Jenkintown, PA., about 30 min outside of Philadelphia Center City. The window of this hair and wig shop caught my attention.

I will try to be more surreal in future postings. The material is certainly there in my archives.
A lot of what passes for everyday life in Asia is truly surrealist. I only have to go out of my house in the city centre and decide whether to turn left or right, and it's all out there, waiting...

These images are - amazing. Initially they scared the living daylights out of me. Then I revisited them and I saw so much more, very strong messages came to my mind.
Are they a mannequin? Or did you bury some poor model in the dirt of a garden?
Please can you either post here and tell us how you did them, or maybe even start a new thread? Well worth recording for posterity, I reckon.
