Matt: Do you need a helper with this project? Lovely shots front and back!
Osman: You are welcome and thank you.Rayyan, thank you for your encouragement, my friend. I'm glad you're back.
Matt: Thank you for the kind words. 2 car mirrors! It must be the siderayyan: I like this second photo best. The buildings make more of a backdrop for the boats.
Ease of transportation's an excellent criteria for weighting a travel destination. Europe's much easier to get around then any other continent. Having said that, it's still requires a car to see Tuscany, Wales, Northern, Scotland, any place in Ireland (except Dublin; I destroyed two car mirrors in one trip!). Can't go everywhere in a lifetime (although it appears that you will). I like your style! Cheers, Matt

Very impressive subway station, and wonderfully captured. Does indeed look like you have the whole thing to yourself!How would you have traveled to the National Museum? Most tourists consider
that by taking a subway they would miss on the beauty overground of Stockholm.
On the other hand, if one does not experience the subway one misses out on
about 120 kms of art, design, color, and the essence of something very Swedish and Scandinavian.
We took the subway. Our advice...find time to ride the subway.
Some pics. Sorry I do not flash well at all.
Let's go into one subway station that I know is not crowded now...
The train is at the last stop, so we can take some time...
Each station has a different theme. We were lucky to give DPI members a
private tour. one on one shall we say.
Take the subway! Enjoy the art.
Love this!!!Whew... Lots to catch up on!

What A View! Gorgeous!!!One of the main criteria for Ayesha and me to select the countries/cities we would like to visit is transport..the ease of it.
The transportation has to be , for us , efficient, convenient, frequent, safe and meet our schedules of sleep and wake hours. And ' relatively cheap ' in keeping with the local prices.We might add to this and Pleasant!!.
This invariably leads us to ' Old Europe ' in the majority of cases.
Car rentals, for us both, should be our choice not a necessity...To Stockholm then...
How would you arrive here? Walk, car, bicycle, subway, ferry? Maybe some
animal transport?
We visited the place above and the following one...
One is the National Museum, the other an exquisite area to walk around.
How would you travel to these places? I shall give how we did it later. Just for fun, how would you do it?
Like the Late,Great Jimmy Durante once said, " Ha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!"An ongoing project. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt

Osman: Thank you. (insert big smile here) The light was just right to highlight her and the stand with the background in shadow. Right place, right time.Matt, especially the first shot is stunning. You've captured the essence of the moment.
Matt: Do you need a helper with this project? Lovely shots front and back!
YaY Seattle :thumbs:...
rayyan: I can always use a helper! Wrong side of the road and single track highways. One was on our rental and one was on an Irishman's car. When I found him, he said "not to worry, it happens all the time, enjoy your vacation". Nice people, the Irish. We were on our way to see our family castle in Baltimore, County Cork (every Irish-American family has a castle in Ireland!)Matt: Thank you for the kind words. 2 car mirrors! It must be the side
of the road they drive on! Of course you are right. Cars are indeed needed
sometimes. No Matt. can't go everywhere in a lifetime. Most of it is left
unseen and unfelt. Take care my friend.
Corlan: Enjoy the birthday party. "Stalker"? Of course not. I am an aesthete with a camera. I wouldn't have taken the last photo (maybe), if she was 2' to the right. I liked the vanishing point created by the cars, the road, and her vector. The juxtaposition of her, the traffic cone and the guy in the red shirt combine to balance the vanishing point's movement away.Is it called the stalker project?
Nice ...
Lloyd: Thank you sir. Their hair (believe it or not) was the first thing I saw. Very striking.Interesting and worth project, Matt. Those last two show why parting can be a sweet sorrow.
I also found it interesting how similar the hair is on the women in the last two shots.
Awesome Street, Dude!
Steve: Thank you! That's why they make telephoto lenses. I was also motivated by one of your 0.95 shots.Like the Late,Great Jimmy Durante once said, " Ha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!"
or..Jackie Gleason, " How Sweet It Is!" :thumbs:
Jason: Nice B&W. The framing, pp, and catching the pedestrian - very good.Whew... Lots to catch up on!

Steve: I am sure they have a charm of their own! Thanks.Rayyan...The subways dont look like that in Boston! I hope to ride this train at some point in my life! Excellent color & angles!
Steve: Much appreciated sir.What A View! Gorgeous!!!
Matt: ; Thank you very much.Rayyan: Terrific photos! It's better (much better) then the travel channel. Compositions and colors are excellent.

+1 Gorgeous shot.Matt: That color again! Love how you have captured the shades of it. Wonderful.
95 f? Record hot in July? You must be in the sub-arctic regions.
Take care.
