    Both of them with the white lines, red accents and looks… so good. And thank you ma’am for your color-coordinated coat, bag, and wheels on your cart.

      Thanks. Yes, I really couldn’t have asked for her to be more suitably turned out. Saw her making her way towards me, and just hoped nobody else would be passing at the same time. Thankfully it worked out that way.

    Awesome! She looks like she is crying as well.

      Cheers! She really did make the photo. Very happy she was passing by.

    “There is nothing wrong with your camera.
    Do not attempt to adjust the picture.
    We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity”
    – It looks a bit ‘Outer Limits’..or pasta

      Wasn’t aware of that programme. Just watched the intro. Very cool. Can imagine that must have had quite an impact back in the day.

        Very b&w! I was caught up with the bubble gum card series ‘in color’ and then, many years later, the seemingly disconnected b&w late night TV re-runs of the series. Those color episodes seemed a pale imitation!
        Glad not to be alone in noticing ‘essence of pastafarianism’ in the mix :o)

          Some things really do work better in black and white, don’t they?

          Ah, I hadn’t picked up on your pasta reference. All makes sense now!

    That is such a strange scene. As Ron said, it does look as if she could be crying, and the graffiti looks like it could be a representaition of a Boltzmann brain, though it could just as well be pastafarian in nature.
    Anyway, you’ve captured a rare thing there, Lee, and captured it brilliantly.

      Thank you. I was unusually patient that day, and fortunately my wait paid off. Very happy with the result.

      There’s a lot going on, isn’t there? Or at least a lot that can be taken from it. When a photo works out like that, it’s incredibly rewarding.

    Very very cool! You got this right on so many levels. It’s one of my favorites for sure! 🙂

      Thanks! Good to hear. I was patient for once, but I definitely got lucky. Always nice when things work out like that.
