Offensive and provocative. That's all about this "waste of your time" and possibly talent...

Hello Philippe,

In vino veritas is for me a better slogan than in divino veritas so I appreciate your picture. I have to say that I was born in Burgundy and living today near Bordeaux.

Thanks for humour !

I don't know if I really find this humorous, but I guess in a sense I do. When dealing with religious "iconography" humorous may not be quite the right description. I do find it unique image and well executed. I can't really see a connection between alcohol and sacrifice, but am willing to guess that this was just an idea that came to your head due to the cokscrew lookng like it has a head and arms.

You're right David when guessing the origin of my idea ! Thanks.

Nice crisp image and technically well done. I also love the symbolism of this. As the lighting is doen without a gothic or macabre edge it keeps a light hearted and witty feel. Overall I really like it!

I'm curious. What symbolism do you see here?
