Two Salutes

[Rob MacKillop]

Waterstones bookshop, Princes Street, Edinburgh. DP2Q.

 

[John Allen]

My kind of place. Really nice shot, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I love book shops. Just behind are shelves full of photography books.

Did you find the two salutes?

It took a while to find the second one. Longer than I'd like to admit.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

I found one salute, then thought I am to old to waste time on finding the other so where is it?
Looks just like if not identical to our book shop.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you, Julian. Sorry about that.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Holy smoke, what a challenge. Better be a sissy for once Julian!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you, Julian. Sorry about that.

I did notice a wee something at the stairwell, but being far in the distance it was fuzzy as I had my reading glasses on

 

[Rob MacKillop]

There is a woman saluting on a book cover near the stair. I think you got it, Julian. Now, wasn't that the most exciting thing ever?

I was thrilled, and cannot find the words to express what joy it brought although I felt a Wally not seeing it first time

 

[Pete Askew]

The balancing figure is quite wonderful I think. Nice.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Half of his left arm is missing, poor sod.

 

[Pete Askew]

Hasn't affected his balance though. But it's ruined his career as a juggler!

A wooden model can dream...
