It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I wouldn't like to come across her on a dark night if she's in a bad mood....

Nice picture, though .

Pity that the building at the back isn't clear of her tail end, but you can't beat planners and architects.

Bloodthirsty lot in the middle ages, weren't they? Makes for a super picture though.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I know, but I couldn't get an angle that cleared it that I liked. I was also being pestered by a drunk at the time so wanted to move on!

Cheers, Kris.

She would be rather distracting coming towards you like that, just before she slices you in two

Nicely done Kris

Nice one Chris. that wasn't around when I visited Warszawa on business a few times back in the late 60's. The most impressive building was the Palace of Culture or as we called it the Palace of variety. Built with Russian money and Polish sweat. I was followed around for 24hrs. a day and they even rang me up at 3 in the morning. When I went to the British Embassy (The pink elephant club) I was told that's normal they must have lost you and just wanted to check I was in my bed.
Happy "commy" days.
CHEERS Vic
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Lovely image, Womble. I also appreciated the Wiki link. Never forget.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories
