Who is Walter

Werner, not Walter. I was tired and in an allergic shock

[Frank Fremerey]

Frank you present us with your political views!

No. I wear a T-Shirt of my employer. If my employer was Coca-Cola or Deutsche Telekom you would not mind. I work for a political startup company and I do not present views here.

I ask you politely to remove them from this forum! Thank you!

No. I do have the right to wear what I want. If someone takes a photo of me working it is a legit documentation. I did not even ask for it.

It is curious that putting the subject on the right adds a touch of tension versus putting it on the left. Perhaps a reflection of the fact that we read from left to right?

I totally agree. Not just the way we read, but also what we ‘learn’ about composition.

Lovely shot, and reminds me that I ought to give my 35/2 some love.

Interesting thoughts.

I wonder if Middle Eastern peoples whose languages (such as Hebrew and Arabic) are written from right to left would prefer Ian's charming daisy image to be horizontally flipped by 180 degrees?

I totally agree. Not just the way we read, but also what we ‘learn’ about composition.

Nicely controlled onion distortion Fons 

120.000 kg of onions rejected by the supermarkets cause of size, now sold through private initiative!
Picking up "our onions" from "no waste" in Breda!

Great initiative
Some supermarkets here now have selections labelled "wonky" vegetables.
I think they're conscious of the public disapproval but some things are still all wrong

(Werner by me, me by Werner)

Looking bright Frank.
Out of interest,  do you ride a Volt bike?

(Oh, just read your reply - guess it's a different "Volt")

[Fons Baerken]

Thank you Colin!

Very old steam locomotives run on our tiny museum railway "Teritten". Specialised coal is required for the locos to function. The coal comes in green bags so there is a whiff of coal smoke and green future mixed together

Nikkor 12-28 DX on my Z fc, geometric distortion is not corrected. So although present, it isn't always bad and needs corrective measure.

[Frank Fremerey]

Looking bright Frank.

That is my mixdown

Picture of "my" Volt Bike ... I rented it für 12€/day for the 2020 campaign...

Thank you Frank

My "sentinel" interpreted in a different fashion. Possibilities are endless. As with any subject, in fact.

  Yet another magic reality.
  Thanks for the inspiration

 I myself turned 50 twenty days ago. It was a wonderful time to take a look back...and I do have a few gray hairs

For some years now, Cadíz´s conservatoire opens the city dance festival performing in a  town square just in front of the Cathedral. This year has been specially emotional.

  Birna, you can see two of the students you met in class and the last piece used your voice recording for the "dream" piece.
