I like this very much. Dark summer evening, film noir. And it reminds me of a film, I just can't recall which.

Not being a great film buff, would not know, It is actually a trailer hut/house which is drawn behind a Steam traction engine. Although who knows, at one time having studied The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari for what seemed at the time for far to long, but all totally forgotten, it maybe I drew unconscious impressions of that era. It did start out much more abstract with a great enigmatic quality about it. I liked the cloud so lightened it all.

It does have a look of the German Expressionists about it doesn't it. Dr Caligari - good reference. And filmed at Babelsberg Studios too! The other one though!

Great places those studios, the way the , skill, organisation and hard work is involved in the making of something believable. It makes Photoshop appear tame. Fun to be a stills photographer on set.

There's a feeling of escape with the open window and the position of the cloud

Steve Mcqueen , cannot remember if he got away or was he shot? I know he fell off the Bike.

wonderful tones, love how the white frame pops against all of the dark.

Thanks Beth me too.

The Great Escape. Classic! (He got caught!)

(In real life they all got caught but one or maybe two I think.)

Back to the picture (the photograph I mean): Great shot, Julian. That window frame pops right out in more ways than one.

Thanks Brian, Yep a classic action film.
