Merry Christmas

[Rick Waldroup]

That third shot in the first series is absolutely killer.  Great stuff.

[Fons Baerken]

thank you Rick

[John Geerts]

Very versatile series, Fons. Agree with Rick on the third one, a beauty.

[Airy]

Third one is striking. I am not surprized to see that John and Rick share the same feeling.
From the second series, #2 is also very nice "street photography".

That third shot in the first series is absolutely killer.  Great stuff.

Rick, I know what you are seeing.  It's the spookiness and isolation.

Nice image, Fons.

To me, the B&W images tend to look nicer in this thread, and I agree that the third one in the first series stands out.

I wonder what the last one in the first series actually is?  I faintly feel that the image could be familiar to me.

That's a scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

That's a scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Thanks, John, for the identification!

Although the scene is identified, I would suspect what Fons captured could be a tableaux of the super-realism or of a Warhol style.

Great set.  I am drawn especially to the people shots.

Thank you everyone!
