A great shot, but in all honesty, I'm thinking that the real star in this photograph is the rag! Not that I have anything against pitchers, but without the rag, it would be a rather pedistrian capture. But, when adding the rag, it comes to life, is real, and makes me wish I could visit for a while. An absolutely perfectly placed accessory that makes this picture great! #1702647

Big smile here, Michael. The rag is essential in another way. This little "set-up" is in a cabin used by re-enactors. The day was warm. VERY warm. The occupants of the room were musicians - playing fiddle, mostly. Periodically they would wipe their brows or the backs of their neck with this rag dampened in cool water. #11672074
