    Creative mind and always your sense of humor dear michael!
    Very fine play, background is so very appealing for me, so very interesting and unusual, but totally cool play, great effect, bravo !!!

    Hey thanks for your wonderful comments. I wait around sometimes for people to get into the framing. I noticed the writing first then realized if i walked across the road the tram stop would be in front of it. Then waited until people casually entered my shot.

    GREAT photo! Anybody can take photos…; but, not anybody can take them really well…; somehow, you seem to have the ability to be able to take photos really well…; though, exactly how you do that does, well and truly, beat me?! I guess, some folk are just extremely ‘talented’...knowing exactly ‘when’ to start pressing on the camera’s shutter button…! ;-)

    The ‘pick up spot’ has more than merely just one connotation, alone, in my eyes. To me, it’s interesting that absolutely anywhere could be a ‘pick up spot’...when you could run into your ‘ideal’ lover/friend/person anytime, anywhere??? Anyway, as somebody who is an ‘eternal romantic’ I do believe in ‘dreaming’ an awful lot! ;-)

    There is a sense of life stopping for a moment. Such serenity in an everyday scene.
