A great story along with the great photograph, my farther recounted a similar story when he was knocked unconscious and died whist under a ship doing some work on the hull when he was in the navy and he said much the same things but the funny thing was when he was bought up to the surface and resuscitated he was quite angry with the person who saved his life because he said it was one of the most wonderful feelings he had experanced , I'm sure he was thankful afterwards!View attachment 26676
The dark side - 'A tunnel of light,' - when in his 20's a friend of mine had to have his wisdom teeth taken out - fairly routine. Unfortunately for him, the muscle relaxant component of the anesthetic did its job too well and it also relaxed his heart - to the point it stopped beating. He was clinically dead for a few minutes. He remembered the experience - and can lucidly narrate it. He was falling into a tunnel of light - he didn't feel scared at all, quite the opposite - there was a sense of wonder. On his descent he passed static points of light that he knew were angels. This is a bit odd as he was not raised in a religious environment and has no personal belief. Then - bang - lights out. He knows in retrospect that this was the moment they put the paddles on his chest and connected him to the national grid to restart his heart. He remembers nothing more until he woke up several days later in the HDU of the hospital. - Palma, Leica and film. cheers - I.

Street performance in the hipster quarters of Tallinn. Obviously not sanctioned.
Unfortunately, just my phone - Mi4c.
That's both funny and quite moving at the same time. Very good.View attachment 26724

Good evening Iain,View attachment 26705
My final Dark Side pic - I'm convinced that this little guy came alive at night or when nobody was looking. If that's not the case then somebody in the shop had a delightfully warped sense of humour. Each day as you passed the posture would have changed slightly - but only slightly. The angle of the head, the positioning of the hands or the legs would be crossed the opposite way. I prefer the first explanation. Barrio Huertas - Madrid. Bessa R3 - Leica 50mm Summicron - Fuji film. cheers - I.
Good evening Iain,
That picture is so disturbing to me. A great pic but one I will not be visiting again.
They freak me out.
It brings me back to the days of the "Hammer House of Horrors" that I was forced to watch every Friday evening with my mother while my father was out having a beer or two. She has always been a lot tougher than me.
I remember sleeping with one eye open in those days.

Was that a question?A - the 'Blad lenses are surgical in their sharness? Very good. I.
A beautifully captured photo.
Indeed for me a learning curve that one does not always listen to.
The best photos are often taken from angles that the average photographer will not even think about, me included.
Most of us take photos standing up and at eye level.
Thanks for sharing,
Wayne
Wow! Wonderful photo. You have a great eye for composition and contrasting material. The color is right on.
