    Thank you!
    Yes, it was perfect lighting at that moment. The sun was beaming through heavy forest directly into the lily. This image was taken exactly with the same camera settings only it was 20 seconds earlier! Amazing how the light had changed so quickly!

    Yes. Because your text to the first photo came before the photo I got the impression that your photo had something to do with Firenze. But if you want a more legitimate association: The hands and the relationsship between the persons in your photo form a bridge :) . I have some qualities that could make me a great politician in the US :D

  • pegellipegelli Registered Users Posts: 8,756 Major grins

    OK, I understand now, no my photo was above the entrance of the Paulus church in Antwerp.

    And pls. don't become an American politician, we're much better off here when you are a Danish photographer.

    Or to say it differently: "be yourself, there are enough others" ;)

    Hi Joyce. I don't get that ad "genuine fake watches". In EU both seller and buyer will be fined to poverty if caught in violating producer's right. When and where is the photo taken? To me it could be Greece.

    Hi Jørgen, I have seen (and photographed) this sign in Turkey, which isn't EU... you only get in trouble if you get caught coming back into the EU with any of these "real fake" goods.

    Thanks for the information. I think the ad has to be removed :D if Turkey ever become a member of EU. Due to the political situation that will not be tomorrow.

    I took this picture because of the ironic of the sign. Sara is correct, it indeed was Ephesus Turkey where this was shot back in 2011. I thought that at least they were being honest about what they were selling. However in a unfortunate way for the real watch makers.

    In this context I imagine that the producers don't regard honesty as a quality :D

    In Shanghai you have the same problem walking around. Plenty of shady looking men offering you 10 $ Rolex watches :o

    When you say you're interested they ask: "Too expensive?" My standard response is then "No, too cheap!" which most opf them don't understand >:)

    I think you can find those types all over the world even in EU - but they don't advertise. The speciel in Turkey seem to be that you apparently are free to advertise about your violation of rights, that is protected in the West.

    Funny, because the picture I have is also from Ephesus... December 2010

    As far as I have seen in traveling over 30+ countries, Ephesus is the only place that advertises genuine fake watches!

    @Jørgen_Bjerring - The text on the sign goes: Textures & patterns of the 20th century. What is it? A kind of open land museum?

    Actually, I was in Vancouver at a tavel agent convention when I was in my hotel room at the Sheraton, and there was a loud explosion that happened. As shot from my hotel room window, this was part of a set created that night for the movie Nautilus ( I never saw the movie but I think it had something to do with Godzilla?), which was directed by Gareth Edwards in June of 2013.

    Here Gareth Edwards, the director, is the guy in the middle.

    Here is an article written about that time:

    Looks like it follows the bottom of the prior page. Last time I did that I got lucky & it matched anyway!

    Yup, lkbart figured it out. Look at the bottom of page 724 and it makes perfect sense :/

    Now corrected with something a bit more "logical"
