Places and Photographs that touch a person...and make the world a far better place...at least, for some of us.

We remember when we loved going to movies on a Saturday evening in Johannesburg some 50 years ago. What a memory! After intermission but before the main feature, the prime time spot was reserved for the advertisement of the day. A cigarette promotion invariably dominated the screen. Often, it was Rothmans of Pall Mall. The advert promoted the City of London (probably the cigarette, too) and concluded with the words: "When a person is tired of London, one is tired of life." It was impressive.

However, in retrospect, after experiencing the weather, smog, traffic and crowds, I think not to be tired is probably a more serious issue. Rather, we would express it slightly differently: "When a person is tired of nature, one is truly tired of life." An opinion, of course...(long live the Queen).
