Fascinating! Had no idea of their origins.
Me either. So that's why the standard loofah comes in that long shape.

For most of my life I had some vague idea they were something aquatic.
They're often described as a type of sponge and sponges are simple tubular things without much obvious structure siphoning the sea water for food.
Me, too.
That’s what I thought too! Until my friend grew them last year.
They really are so cool.
First image nominated for IOTM.
Nice videography - arty without being OTT arty (*cough* I just read Ted’s ‘Mongolian Monks’ story)
I'm guessing the bright, block colours were an artistic decision rather than coincidence? Looks great - I like the way the eye is drawn not only across and up & down by the camera but also along lines of colour.
And it sounds great. Scuse my ignorance: is the sound recorded separately?

Yes for the block colours. There's thought gone into the presentation, deportment and look of the thing.
Yes on the sound recording. Giles records it with some good quality audio gear and masters it on a computer.
There's a good set of resources to work with before that. Lyric sheets with vocal direction, music notation for each vocal part, mp3 teach tracks of each part in various arrangements to rehearse against and we're arranged in 2 blocks of each part so it's balanced for the audience.
With all that I knew which part(s) will be carrying the song and when. So planned out and wrote up some direction sheets for Lou, on the manned camera, to get the shots I wanted for inclusion into the video. It's a lot, but with lessons learned from last time I got better quality with less effort and already have next year pre-tought out off the back of this.

Found the background to the 2013 picture. Taken on a HTC Desire.
Maybe not, but I remember I printed this one and hung it over the fireplace. It caused comment.
I don't believe a T-Rex can sip anything. And she must have had help to get those legwarmers on!
(Really enjoyed seeing all these. Top marks)

Quite. I've just dug it out the attic. It's a bit creased but still looks not too bad in situ.Maybe not, but I remember I printed this one and hung it over the fireplace. It caused comment.

I have so much respect for people who study and earn degrees/other qualifications in a second (or more) language. And if it’s a different language, then the culture is likely to be very different as well.
what did you study?
I did a BA with Geography as my main subject. I went on to work in town planning and was going to do a masters in it but discovered I had a knack for computers while I was analysing census data so I ended up doing two years computer science remotely.
Luckily our text books were English otherwise it would have been really hard. I hardly understood a word in lectures for the first six months.

Salts mill.
A mosaic??

The sky looks mosaic but the buildings are made from clay would be my guess. I had a closer look and there's a definite glaze on them.
