Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
I love that the lady in the front seems to be doing her own kind of stretching... kind of in her own world whilst the others behind are all doing something different, a lovely b&w Lorraine, looks like a great place to relax, stretch and unwind.

@Kylie Greenan: Yes I wondered if the students were a bit behind lol thanks alot Kylie :)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
A really funny picture. I'm not sure what the lady in the front is doing. Praying or stretching?? My husband does it every morning. I swear he is going to move a wall some day, well that's what it looks like when he stretches the ham strings. Too funny.
29 Aug 2008 3:10pm
@Marion: Hi Marion, I'm not sure what they're doing except that nobody's doing the same lol thanks so much!
@Marcie: Coffee first, or I'd accidentally, hum, kick someone ;) thanks for the visit Marci :)

@alex centrella: They really seemed to be, hum in harmony :)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
It looks like they are lining up for a sprint to the water.
29 Aug 2008 3:55pm
@Michael Rawluk: That could be it, heating up first, thanks Michael :)
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Seems as if they're all doing something a bit different ... but, then, I suppose the same could be said about us and the camera we lug with us everywhere we go!
29 Aug 2008 11:53pm
@Ron: Neat comparison ;) thanks a lot Ron !

Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
Touché Lorraine !!!...
I wish there was a way, here on Aminus3, to respond to a response to a comment, in sort of a forum kinda way.... I'm sure you know what I mean...
Anyway, after I read it I couldn't stop loughing because you hit such a tender spot in all of us that we all try to hide, you were soooo right !!!!
..one sharp and clever girl you are, you... !!!!
cheers
Roman

@Roman: Hey Roman, don't be fooled, I don't do ANYTHING I just like to photograph people DOING things, not me, han-han no way lol the back and forth comment, that's blogger's domaine it's fun, but it doesn't showcase photos like Aminus does :)
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Station debout , face courte, main libre pendant la locomotion , d'un stretching , bonne ambiance , la méthode P.N.F, une photo simple, face à la matineuse de l'eau...
30 Aug 2008 4:13am
@Siam: Wow, j'aurais du dire ça, hum...merci Siam :)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
A really good variety of poses you've caught here, Lorraine. Excellent placement of the lamp post, too. I know I'm being a bit picky, but I feel that the those bright whites stand out a little too much. I would have burnt them in, but this is still an excellent image.
30 Aug 2008 5:34am
@Andrew Gould: It's a good suggestion Andrew, and you're right, thanks very much :)
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Looks like they are worshipping the lake god, maybe they do so unconsciously :). Nice view, with a bit of humor, they all do their best to sacrifice some weight to him.
30 Aug 2008 8:48am
@Illuci: Good comment Erik, must be mixed thoughts of Ommmmmm and Doooooonuts ;)
saeed from ahwaz, Iran
great shot and composition! so lovely indeed! nicely done
30 Aug 2008 10:28am
@saeed: Thanks a lot Saeed :)
@Mokart: Stretching is serious business, especially when the one in front of you splits their pants lol ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
I love the composition and the scene here Lorraine. The girl standing and reaching goes well with the parrallel of the lamp post. Ideal B&W.
This reminds me of when we would take our Tai Chi group to a local park and take in the calm and beauty of the outdoors. Good Chi.
30 Aug 2008 5:41pm
@Barbara: Yes, things are easier outdoors, well except for eating, and sleeping...but exercise is great, unless there's a lot of Bibittes ;)
@kurt: Thanks alot Kurt :)
