Nearly? Perhaps to your eyes Rob. It looks good to me. Perhaps a little cropping to even up the spacing of the window frames and I would have called it 'Find the Lady'.

Interesting shot, Stevenson. It kind of reminds of an Ealing Studios 1940s film set in Wales that nobody's probably heard of - The Halfway House.

I suppose somebody's got to say it.... Nicely framed, Julian.

Glorious colour there, Rob. I can quite see the Dutch Master still life style in it although I'm bemused as to why you've posted as 'Sports' 🤔

A wonderful, heartwarming tale, Julian. One of any religion's few pros is that in its simplist form and shorn of its idiological bigotry it serves as the glue that bonds communities. At that level I have much respect for its symbolism and traditions.

Thanks, Julian. Your recollections go back a long, long time indeed. Galatea has been recently cleaned and looks more seductive than ever. Francis Chichester's Gypsy Moth is no longer next to the Cutty Sark. While the old Naval College may look a little austere now that actually may be how it...

Theres's something about the minimalist geometry that I really like. Nice one, Rob.

Thank very much Beth. That sort of traditional framing must be as old as photography itself but still seems to hit the spot.

Dear Stefan. Josie and I think the same about meeting you both. I'm sorry that with one thing and another our time in Greenwich was limited once we'd all finally got together. So much I would have liked to have showed you. Another time perhaps. Robert sends his regards. He'll also feature in the...

Thanks Gary. The reflections in the glass around the hull of the Cutty Sark can cause some rather disconcerting and distorted effects. I always find it fun to try and capture some of them. I'm glad you liked the stairs to the conservatory. I would like to think the original landscape designer...

Thanks Ralph. Glad you liked them. The old girl can indeed come up with trumps.

Thanks Brian. I'm pleased you've got fond memories of an EXA 500. To paraphrase a song (I think), for all its faults I love it still.

Thanks Gianluca. It's starting to come together, in my head at least.

My EXA500 doesn't have much of a life. It normally sits at the back of the cabinet and rarely goes out. In addition to the usual EXA/Exakta quirks, not least the left hand shutter release, it's got a couple of its own. The shutter doesn't always cock when winding on and towards the end of a roll...

Great photo, Julian. The more so because it triggered a few memories for me. You see, my mother was Austrian, from a small town in Steiermark. Bruck an der Mur is one of the places she used to mention. I haven't been there for about fifty years so it's interesting to see what it looks like now...
