I always hated the myth of Icarus, I prefer Prometheus, more my style. None of that warning us not to try, not to strive to achieve, keeping us proles and commoners in our places. Icarus always seems such a negative message. Suppression of people's creativity by the powerful. I know there's more to it than that, but that's how it has always struck me!

I am with you. Then again, I have never been one for 'know your place' attitudes.

And to think I missed all this ... your a canny one to have behind the lens my old friend and your tricks never cease to amuse me
