| January 27, 2009 @ 6:13pm | I started to write, "Now that is funny!" Then I realized, it's actually a bit creepy and disturbing.
How delightfully bizarre.

Actually, I do think it's funny. It looks like little frozen aliens all marching toward us muttering, "Take me to your heating facility".
I love the composition and how the "Zorgs" seem to be a bit scattered about near the back of the image, but converging on the viewer near the front.
It is delightful!!

Must have been a lot of PS work to "plant" all those zorgs, right? Now we have 500 snow shacks for Zorg to paint, lol.

| January 31, 2009 @ 1:02pm | This puts into my mind Dante's description of the jars outside the first circle of hell, where the souls of the self-absorbed are trapped. Could you hear any voices coming from these containers?
(If I'm going to have Italian cultural references, I prefer "The Godfather" to medieval poets. That way, it's not personal, it's business.)

Zorgs are small frog-like organisms. They are modest and harmless, very social animals who live in big groups. They possess a hard body cast and occur almost exclusively in Switzerland. These delightful animals became famous for their unsatiable curiosity which makes them stand still in awe and stare for lengthy times. When the winter comes in quickly, they tend to get frozen before they can move on.
cheers

| February 1, 2009 @ 7:55am | Thanks for the explanation, Roland. I guess each country has something to contribute to the world of 'magical creatures,' lol.
(I decided to while away the time be re-reading the Harry Potter series. So that's why 'magical creatures' came to mind, lol.)
