Phyllis Clarke 6 months ago

Christoph...directed toward you ...this could be the opening scene in a movie for a love story....As she walked across the bridge she saw a dashing photographer, and found that she had to stop to talk with him...and then there was coffee, and then dinner, and then......Fantastic mood...my compliments to you both..:) Phyllis

Christoph Hessel What a wonderful comment and imagination Phyllis, and so close to reality :-). Our first private meeting, we knew each other from work, happened on a cold, icy, snowy dark evening. Due to ice my care slides off the road, slowly, but - for me - ot to prevent. I crashed (not too hard) against a tree, and ended in a field. I stood there, in cold, waiting for the breakdown service. Could not start the car in fear of fire. It was wet and cold. Suddenly a face appeared beside my car window. Hidden behind scarf and cap I could hardly recognise her. I did nor know, that she lived near that place, and she said: "Hi Christoph, if You want to visit me, You do not need to park here in the mid of field". She accompanied me the time I had to wait (took long, many accidentsbthatbevening), brought some hot tea from her home, and we started to talk. This conversation did not stop any mor till today.
You see Phyllis You felt the point and hit the nail here :-). Many thanks for Your words!

Phyllis Clarke OMG what a great great story!!! Talk about making Lemonade with lemons...I think I suffer from ESP. :)

Jan Gravekamp 6 months ago

Wondeful Christoph, voted for ths one and I am glad it made it, wondeful composition , the bridge disappearing in the fog, the wonderful light and the wonderful person walking to the photographer (somehow directed I suppose :-)) provides the viewer a desolate feeling with a chilly character, very well executed in bw. Congratulations with number 20 Christoph, I am sure many more wlll follow.

Best regards
Jan
