30 Days of Photographs III - Kafkaesque




You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack 
You may find yourself in another part of the world 
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile 
You may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife 
You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here? 
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down 
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground 
Into the blue again after the money's gone 
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground 

 - Talking Heads, "Once in a Lifetime"

    That is such a perfect song for this one. The clowns scares the living crap out of me.

      I thought of that song first - that or J. Giles Band "No anchovies please."

    LOL You know what would be surreal? A world without Ronald McDonald. My friend spent the week in Rome and their kids had to eat at McD's.

    Great song! Eating at McDonald's? Crapkaesque.

    This clown lives with you - I'd never get a wink of sleep in your house!

      No. He lives at the Ronald McDonald House I stayed in. Luckily they locked the office that he was in at night or I may have been worried about him!

    I would imagine Ronald McDonald is one of the most famous clowns around; I do have to admit I do like their fries at times.

    good picture!

    enjoy your weekend

      Their fires are amazing. So good, and so bad all at the same time.

      I meant fries, of course. I need to drink less on Saturdays.

    Can you imagine how angst ridden Ronald must be? Day after day of having to smile at people while dispensing fat-laden happy meals? I would have done myself in long ago.

      Eerily enough, he is so thin that I doubt he eats his own food!

      He was creepy and I knew that I had to take this picture when I saw him there. It was a very Kafkaesque experience.

      Yes, but with our eclectic taste the sad thing is that he would fit right in.

    I don't like clowns, always thought them creepy. Even plastic ones hawking cheap toys and fatty foods to children.

    That song -- one of my favorites, and with good reason -- is so perfect for Kafkaesque! Great post, LM! I've always thought Ronald was surreal.

      I took the shot after I saw Kafkaesque on the list. It was a surreal situation in which I was existing at that moment. Glad you liked the lyrics.

    What a perfect choice of song! You know, my dream man, Johnny Depp, is afraid of clowns. Just saying.

      Johnny is MINE, I tell you, MINE. I didn't know that he disliked clowns, he'll have to get over that do he can take me to the circus.

    Ronald and his evil empire are perfectly at home with today's theme.

    Oh I agree with Cheryl....just a perfect song for this challenge....I may be a little weird but I have always loved the Ronalds that you can sit next to and have a photo shoot with.
