Most of you are probably unfamiliar with the cards in the photos... these are taken from a deck of tarock cards (not the same as tarot, mind you - which is mainly used for divination).

Oooo! You are correct! I have never heard of Tarock! But I LOVE card games - so I'm going to investigate further - it sounds like a good one! And an EXcellent opportunity for your day of "X"!!!
But the game is played with a tarot deck. (even so, it's a brilliant choice for x).
That's a great X!! Nice compositions too!
Wonderful set of cards, never heard of tarock before, love your shots and take on "X"! well done!
As soon as I saw it I said Tarot - thanks for the correction. :)
The graphics of the cards have made for some very lovely images!
Great choice!
I see I haven't been here since your Reflection post. Not sure how I managed to miss you. Sorry about that. I really like the posts you've made here. I just had a good look at them all.
Whoofenderful posts here. A very Unique and good X. Mine is tasty.
As far as the roman numeral theme goes, you get a "10". Hee hee
What a surprise X picture. Just when I thought I had seen every possible X picture.
melli: it is a card game mostly known in what used to be the habsburg (austro-hungarian) empire.
