Lee you always manage to get the best shots!:) love it. By the way, how are you holding up in your parts? I was absolutely shocked to see how hard parts of Japan were hit this weekend. Luckily Kansai was more or less spared. Stay safe.
All good here thanks. In my part of Tokyo at least it wasn’t that bad — definitely so when compared to the photos I’ve seen from other parts of the country. We were very lucky.
Another for the Vermeer…just missing a ball of string and a bowl of porridge.
..and a free reminder for me to re-listen to ‘Back in Black’.
Thank you for braving the elements for this (but I suspect you don’t do much post production!)
This was the day after the typhoon. An absolute stunner of a day. The complete opposite of Saturday. Beautiful blue sky, bright sunshine and wonderfully dark shadows. In fact, shadows so dark they obscured my carefully placed, but ultimately wasted string and porridge!
well prepared, and you did get three ‘Vermeers’ , perhaps two and a half if your wife had already seen the string and porridge!
…and it would be a certain first for ‘in your bag’ (JCH).
That is a wonderful portrait. Girl with a pearlescent ear bud. Definitely one for a People Portfolio.
Hope you are not too well rinsed after the recent weather.
Cheers! Damn, wish I’d though of that title. That’s a belter. Tried to think of something that worked after the missus commented on the similarity, but nothing sprung to mind.
All good thanks. We were lucky. A forced day indoors was the only inconvenience.

This is so beautiful. I love it. It’s like a Vermeer painting! 🙂
Lee says
Thank you. My wife made the same Vermeer connection the moment she saw it.
