Can-can!!!

Post by MacroLuv »

It was one of those hot and stuffy days when even breathing was hard. I decided to make some shots with my little camera.
While I was crossing over fileds and karst of my small lovely isle, killing distress with a couple of can beer and contemplating about hard living of us digital photography enthusiasts, suddenly, a movement of the leg aroused my attention. (Women moving legs always arouse me. 8) :wink:)
Ohhh this is impossible! Can-can in this wilderness???
Just look at that high kick! :lol:

(Can-can (also spelt cancan, Can Can) , a lively French dance marked chiefly by high kicking. It was developed in Paris in the 1830s and became a popular social dance there. By the mid-19th cent. it was incorporated into dance revues and stage productions. Jacques Offenbach wrote the best-known cancan music. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec made celebrated paintings and lithographs of famous cancan dancers.)

Being a Navy Man Ken, I can see why you are interested in Can-Can history :smt028 What I see in the picture is a small creature saying "Why can`t I get these dang things off my feet...who left these here?" :smt093
It sure does look hot there Nikola according to your pictures :wink:

From my experience, she was quicker with hands than with legs. :smt028 :lol:
