Beautiful and close. Great photo :thumbup:Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon. Sunday Market, Manila. Nikon D300 + AF Nikkor 18-200mm VR. Thank you for looking. Leica 77
Thanks a lotHello Corlan F.,
Many thanks for your kind feedback. Your images are wonderfully composed. The red chair is quite inviting! The stone blocks (limestone, perhaps) in the background give a certain sense of security. Best regards, Leica 77
Hello Corlan F.,Thanks a lot
Yes it's a variety of limestone.
By the way there's a whole story about the place...
Here's what's behind the wall:
This 19th century castle was built on a whim of a construction zilionnaire who was an avid collector and had estate properties over several countries so he wanted to gather his art collections in one place.
So the castle was specifically designed as some kind of residential museum... but infortunately still unfinished when the owner passed away. The approx. 70*50yds structure then lost its roofs while WWI, but othrerwise stayed pretty much in today's conditions.
Being abandoned for so long, a couple of years ago the local authorities decided not to restore it, but... to sell it for stones (!!) then -what a surprise- to sell the grounds in lots to promoters for a housing project.
Thankfully some associations keep fighting the project...
Hello Corlan F.,This hair saloon shot's great, a lot of action and a lot to look at.
Considering your usual "old vs. new" theme, i kinda see here the color treatment as a time warp intention. After all, any reflected image is from the past... even micro-seconds.
What is really striking here in this regard is how the B&W ("present") part is ful of action when the colored part in the mirror feels like a still shot.

Hello Cindy Flood,Two from the weekend in Door County, Wisconsin. The lighthouse dates from 1868.

I love the salon shot! Very creative!This hair saloon shot's great, a lot of action and a lot to look at.
You're right, lot of typos in this post anyway.I love the salon shot! Very creative!
I don't know why, but every time someone writes "hair saloon" instead of "hair salon" i conjure up an image of grizzled cowpokes with their hair in curlers getting mani/pedicures.
I should have taken the blue pill.
Hello Lloyd,Leica77 and Corlan F. Great stuff. And I think I enjoyed your exchange about the images as much as images themselves.
Wow. Sort of a visual shock to see this. Very nice. My mind kept jumping between the color and the b/w... I like things that surprise me in images.:thumbup:Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon.
