No creases in their dresses then! You could start or finish a novel with a scene like this…..

Never be afraid to talk about your techniques...

Stunning image Stephen....brilliant although I have to admit first looking for a member of the Royal Family and then John Wayne amongst the steam!

The Duke is Mission Impossible in real life (it was DEAD!). Its resurrection is beautifully portrayed here, joyously alive and giving pleasure. (where'd they get that nameplate from?)

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
