About Noli Me Tangere

Things you'd maybe like to have touched : but couldn't, or shouldn't really touch! Tactile surfaces that invite the human hand.Precious sculptures, or vintage cars, you'd have to own in order to touch. Animals that maybe are elusive, or too dangerous to touch.Some creatures, or creations, are too fragile to survive the touch of too many hands. The dandelion seedhead, the icicles, the spiderweb glittering with dew.
!!!This is not a pool for posting a picture of a person you'd like to get your hands on, however!!! So, please, no porn.
It might be a pool for overcoming anxiety about touching, (that spider, snake or mouse!) as well as about the longing to touch...
Some surfaces tread a fine line between attraction and repulsion..Some pictures that might belong in this pool, could be images of substances, or creatures, which it would be hazardous to touch, maybe. The cactus with prickly spines.. the dog baring its teeth... the bee's nest...the oilspill. I'm trying to express this carefully, as it seems that the description/rules were not easy for everyone to follow...Sometimes, words are blunt objects , when what one needs is a precision tool . Which brings me to- a beautiful, sharp tool- what better image for Noli me Tangere, than something you might cut yourself on...so, "Don't Touch!"
