I live in a small rural NC, USA town. We aren't from too different an environment. Wide angle lens really ties this active grouping together nicely, and the stove adds a nice touch of ambience and warmth to the scene. I'd brought a cake if you'd invited me! :-) Great shot!

These kind of scenes are nearly gone now in my area, but are remembered fondly. Thanks for sharing this with us.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Thank you all for your replies. This was a get together in a small country some 200Km (120Miles) from Melbourne where just about everyone knows everyone and even strangers are invited. People from all over the district came and had a most delightful evening. These sort of events would not be possible in place like Melbourne which I assume would be similar to most other large cities around the world.The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.
