Child with time to investigate the view through the grill of the walkway high in the SFMoMA building, while the adult going in the opposite direction marches over without a glance down.

PS Somewhere I have a big grinning shot of William Shatner (aka Capt. James T. Kirk) at a press conference for a new telephone service he was launching at a trade show I was reporting on back in around 1989. He could turn that smile on like a light with a switch.

Well done Gina, a nice close crop shot of a 'classic Generations' photo. I've seen a similar photo done in 'filtered' black and white, .... is it a Sepia finish ?

Hello Jay,

Yes, the photo is slightly sepia. I decided to take the opportunity to put some real effort into this salon as it's a favourite subject of mine so thank you so much for choosing it. I had to work fast with the camera on the tripod and set to self-timer and getting my 10 month old grandson to keep his hand still for 10 seconds wasn't easy. Patience and teamwork paid off this time.

Cheers for your kind words.

What a great photo .... at the time I suppose it would appear an ordinary shot, but due to the events in the country's history, very poignant and provocative.
It makes you wonder, who and where would they be now ...

Good composition .... imho ..... two subjects,..... but the insignia on the flag,
and also the great big building in the background ....

..... really works for me ...

Thanks for sharing this one !!

It's a blackbird which has taken over my greenhouse. I've had to move all my plants out so as not to disturb her. Took this shot when she popped out to have a pee. The greenhouse is right out side my bedroom window so will be keeping an eye on her.

Great stuff - we had a blackbird pair nesting in am overgrown Ivy for several years. Used to get the moggies going, though they never got close (the Ivy was THAT thick).

Unfortunately, the Ivy was in danger of pulling the fence it was growing on down. so it had to be heavily pruned at the beginning of the year - well before nesting time.
