Greetings, my fellow earthlings!
This is a short message for my Avanzado 2 crowd. Some hours ago we described "Nighthawks", the world famous painting by Edward Hopper and commented on the atmosphere the picture depicts. Words like "tiredness", "loneliness" and "coldness" came up in the subsequent conversation. For those of you that want to go the extra mile here is a short video which discusses the painting in a more elaborate light. Have fun.
