    The longer I look it feels more like the Chanel model is judging me………

      Quite an intense look, isn’t it? But don’t worry, it was me she was judging!

    Wonderful scene. I marvel at your ability to find these amazing locations and match them with that perfect moment in time.
    This feels like some modern version of the Greek Goddess Hera looking down with empathy at the struggles of a long married couple making their way uncomplainingly through life. And at the same time she is looking at you with reserved reproach as she assesses your purpose.

    “… and free me from looming dangers in my weariness from exhausting toils.” – Psykhe’s Prayer to Hera, Apuleius, The Golden Ass

      Cheers. This was sheer good fortune, as I walked past and the scene was there in front of me. Always very nice when that happens.

      Oh, I like that interpretation a lot. Gives it way added depth. Thank you.
