You see, rather than simply renting Divx disks, you buy them outright, for $4.50, and never return them to the store. You don't have...
...moving in the happy light, and others bright decorative and chalky and expressive of the hot trying winds and the slow immense summer." But the immensity doesn't dwarf or trivialize the works of man, and this skill at conveying what is pleasurable in landscape is part of the key to Streeton's unfading popularity in his own country...
