What a beautiful capture of this young man and his client. I love the hint of the surroundings - certainly a world of difference from what many of us are used to seeing.

Congratulations, sistereden2!

It's rather charming to imaging the gentleman snoozing was too partied out after seeing The Sound of Music to make it home :)

Music Theme: I will haven't found what I am looking for by U2

This shell is almost opaque and the light is truly magnificent making the colours almost disapear.
It was chosen to represent the lyrics "and all the colours will bleed into one" which I think it does really well. The sacred spiral has been used through history to represent the power of oneness - so clever.

Thank you for sharing this magnificent capture, so delicate and so powerful.
