Canon 80D, 18-55mm lens
f11; ISO 100; 20sec
This was shot from the roof of an apartment building in Johannesburg, shortly after sunset. The high-contrast, textured shadows created by a nearby street-light caught my eye, leading to a low-key black and white image. I added the clean diagonal line in the top left (actually the trail from a car’s headlights) as a juxtaposition against the gritty shadows.
A brief moment by the lake before the cool breeze pushed back, then the moment was gone. But, for that moment, an opportunity to commune with the Great Lake, to listen to the song of the waves, to be touched by fingers of wind as they move through her hair. How many more of these moments exist for her, for any of us?

The realtor must have had a sense of humor, or had never actually seen the property.
I was reminded of the wonderful movie, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948) staring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy as a couple tired of living in Manhattan who buy a run down house in Connecticut, only to find out they are in over their heads. Melvin Douglas plays the role of the “suffering” architect who tries to give everybody what they want. Don Brodie in the role of the painter knows a thing or two about handling a client without them knowing it, and Louise Beavers, the family cook who saves the day. Cary and Myrna at their best.

I took this picture on the 6th of June 2016 (D-Day) at Ouistreham Beach – Normandy (Sword Beach). I crossed the channel with the night ferry from Portsmouth (UK) and got on Land at 6:00 in the morning. I walked down to Pegasus Bridge with a 30 kg Backpack and returned to the Beach in the afternoon, where I met some French Soldiers (Commandos maritime), we talked a bit, while they got prepared for the ceremony. This photo is dedicated to Coffee at night, running for Cigarettes and my Chief Nurse Major E.L Giles, you saved my life on a 3rd of January.
Thanks for not forgetting … I hope we will see again one day and talk.
