I'm lost for a caption for this photo
It seems to cover two forms of nicotine addiction, plus a desire for some people to leave their mark on the community

Yesterday I had lunch with some folks I worked with prior to my retirement.  Very enjoyable.  Stories were told and acquaintances renewed.  This was done with a D810 and the 20/1.8G lens.  Cropped.  Cropped a lot.

This really belongs in July, but I only just got the photo from TEPCO,

The Daichi power plant visit was epic, but no photography allowed. I was only sent some  bland official photos of the tour, but at least I could appear heroic ;-)

The mind’s eye is the best camera.

Nightscape with moon.
I have spent a few nights out. One of them at Monachil, beautiful sightseeing close to Granada.
I have been shooting but not putting the images in the computer until today.

I trust nobody is offended. Very nice picture. Very “Birna” style. Do you agree ?

  Why will I feel offended?  Thank you  for the compliments.

  I can or can't agree as it is my own image, so I'm biased. Let other people decide.
 Still, if it reminds you of Birna's work, it is a compliment in my book.  :)
