It came back in quick. (Also, lest any sharp-eyed individuals inquire, such as the Chief Constable of the Horizon Watch Division of the hated Dust Police, I think I must have had a martini before snapping this shot.;))

Olympus XA and Ilford HP5 Plus that I processed in Rodinal.

 
The human presence is great in this one and the body language of the nearest figure is great. The similarity in shape of the dark portion of the sky and the dry sand is striking and these two elements seem to frame the middle portion. The structure makes a strong statement; almost fortress like.
Great photograph Brian.

Tom, sometimes a photo speaks. Yet though a photo may speak, there is no guarantee I'll know what it is saying. This one spoke to me. But the best I could glean from its message was the plea "like me." Which I did,...but not knowing clearly why. You have helped translate for me. Thank you. Much appreciated.

You can be forgivejn for thinking that, Beth. We had some rock and roll on Friday evening, measuring around 5.6, and a short, sharp jolt on Saturday afternoon. (Presumably an aftershock following on from Friday.) I heard today that we had experienced about 135 aftershocks since Friday night. (Most of them you don't feel, or if you do you may just assume them to be side effects of your third or fourth IPA.:rolleyes:)

it was a slow news day friday so we heard about the earthquake. glad it was just the standard earthquake and nothing too crazy. ;)
 
Agree with all that is said. What a fantastic structure , it looks a bit like a Doctor Who creature about to walk away. Nice one Brian.

When you can't remember whether you had a Martini or not is the time to start to worry! Great analysis by Tom. I also like the line that the people make and the way it works with the angle of the pier. Nice. :)
