Fons,
the first one play a little trick on me. At the beginning I couldn´t figure out what I was looking at and then it came to focus -sic- and let me wondering why I didn´t see it right away the first time...
The almost pure symmetrical composition took part in the trick, I guess. Focus, light direction, forcing the view through all of that and then some.
Thanks for the visual game!
-
Same with me - had to look again !
-
Manual focus has its advantages :)

Very nice, Fons and Jack

A sad story behind this image, I have been making motoring holidays to the Luzern area of Switzerland since 2001, the first year I discovered ' Cafe Rex ' from the outside it looked like a regular city centre cafe but stepping inside was like being taken back to the Parisian/art deco era, the food was simple but freshly cooked, the decor was something I had only seen in books. Originally two ladies ran the cafe until the present owner took over. He is now 65 and retirement is his future, he told me that the hard work ruing the cafe was the reason for closing but reading between the lines I got the impression that there could have been some landlord pressure involved.

This is also for Olivier. This was taken in Singapore two years ago. You can not imagine the heat in this street with all the machines working at once. All the restaurants were facing in opposite directions, cool and nice, leaving this back street for workers and air machines.

this seems to have become a "theme" thread. Particularly like Jack's image. The chickens waiting on the bench is priceless.
Here is one of the "sky lounge" that may remind us of the hours of sitting and waiting between flights.

Kind of a slow day at the restaurant ;) I like the the red and white table cloth and the composition. Three empty tables makes the impact.

This is a little offbeat. A topiary seat clipped from a hawthorn bush. It's near Broughton-in-Furness about ten miles from me, a local chap clips the bush every year and trains it to shape.
I keep meaning to take another photograph when it's in leaf. Better still, freshly clipped!

Keith, cattle class is anything but spacious believe you me, I always get to sit next to the fat bloke, wait a minute I am the fat bloke! further I always seem to sit behind the person who tilts the seat back all the way, hey ho.

Maybe reserved for the dutch royal family, although they didnt show up, so where seated by tibetans and people from the mountain regions.

OK, found a peculiar one on a recent corona walk. Walking through a little local forest bordering an industry park. Was shooting together with my daughter, but had to stop and "re-focus".

Ah, thanks, clear now. Didn't know this expression.

Thank you Fons and Paco, much appreciated. That very colour composition is what drew me to the scene.
