... of course , as austere as an exile home could be

Nowadays there is limited possibilities taking pictures in museums and the like.
I could take my Df with 20/1.8g attached inside, since it was a guided tour only quickly snap some while in the room.

Yes, very effective. Colourful and detailed. Richly decorated.

Love the first one, in BW as well.

Post by: Fons Baerken on August 22, 2016, 13:00:54: thank you John and Erik

Deliberate choice for b/w intro and outtro to the series, emphasizing the past history

Post by: Olivier on August 22, 2016, 20:16:25: Hi Fons,

Very enjoyable, and it makes me want to search for more info on that place.
I like the last one (b&w in the park) especially.
The second picture is very Fonsy, totally your style!
