HMS Victory is a splendid idea, I have been there the day before I met both Peter and Robert... He will know what I allude to. Anyway, HMS Victory is undergoing a much needed deep rebuild / restoration. It is today scheduled to be completed in 15 years, if I am not mistaking. Photographically...

Dear Peter, my better half and I have just returned from our trip and I'd just like to say how delightful and precious it was to see you! Also looking forward to the one shot story!

Those pictures capture the atmosphere extremely well. Thank you.

I am impressed by your wife's achievement! I know very little Brecht and am not very well versed in literature at all. However, I read Remarqu and he has given a powerful account of the experience of a generation. He is on one side of the spectrum of the German post war literature, yet there...

I agree with Brian, excellent spotting! It´s funny how we see faces and shapes in all sorts of objects, sometimes in linoleum floors, even in wallpaper structures. Or in ice. Or here...

SNAP! I´m only afraid these things send you down a very deep and excessively costly rabbit hole.

Lovely shot! The colors, the mood and the angle. The angle somehow makes this geometrically more pleasing, more dynamic. I got the impression an entire city was riding huge wave. Still, I tilted my head all the time while looking at it. I´ll see my orthopedist about it first thing in the morning...
