A very well done humorous picture, Joao. Congrats on POD !.

A high quality image, Joao. There is a 3D feel to it.

This picture has definitely got your trade mark, a very sharp foreground that leads into a scenery of magical light.The sunburst is nice. Well done yet again, my friend. (PS I hope your computer troubles will be over soon). Best, Dimitris.

Is a good job you did't go to Duxford, Joao..:-). As I said the view from there is facing directly into the sun. The following weekend though, I went to the Old Warden aerodrome- Shuttleworth collection, they have a theme there almost every weekend until September. The theme, that particular Sunday was 'Fly Navy'. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I will post some pictures later. Thanks for dropping in, my friend and I will look forward to your airshow pictures. Best regards.

Superb !!.

Thank you for viewing and any comments would be appreciated.

Goldfinches from my study window.

A very pleasant image, Mihali, taken at the golden hour in the Mediterranean.

Another good portrait in your collection, Mehmet !

Thank you for viewing. Comments would be very welcomed.

Sorry... standing on the right is my great uncle Yiannis.

Superb texture on the wall and pavement, like the depth of the picture. Well done Vlad.

Thank you for viewing and any comments will be very welcomed.

This photo was taken in 1916 in the town of Kyrenia, lovingly restored by me. Standing on the left is the brother of my maternal Grandfather, my great uncle Yiannis and standing on the right is a Turkish Cypriot policeman.

Mehmet, as always thank you very much !. Tony, thank you I too love old photos...Asimov wrote a science fiction novel called: 'The end of eternity'. In it he describes an elevator that was a time machine. Old photos are the same for me. They transport you to a bygone era and they stimulate the imagination. Gerald, thank you very much and is very true what you are saying about computers, but the past remains. Maurizio, thank you very much my friend !. Mike, thank you . You have detective's eyes, I also noticed their shoes especially my great uncle's. They had two pairs of shoes, one for church which lasted them for years and one they wore every day which they bought every year for every day use. Boot polish was expensive -:). Mihali, thank you very much my friend and in answer to your question they were tailors, some of them, apprentices some of them master tailors. People in those days acquired many skills by switching professions. My great uncle Savas had 7 that I know of. My Grandfather had 17..-:).

Excellent point of view and perfect contrast !. Well done Ovidiu.

Perfect framing and mood and the silhouettes tell the story very well. Well done Mihali.

Simple and effective composition, Charles.

Bless both of you Gail. She is absolutely adorable. An excellent picture . In years to come she will look at it and say: 'My Granny took that'.

Thank you for viewing and any comments would be appreciated.
