Hi Paul, Sorry for the late comment.
I really liked this picture, for all the reasons other people already stated. But also, because of how it shows how similar people are to each other, regardless of place and time. With small variations in skin tone, maybe in the kind of bread on the table, etc, I can imagine very similar scenes anywhere in the world. From culture to culture we are, contrary to what first impressions (and sometimes our politicians) would lead us to believe, more similar than we are different. Thanks for posting it. j On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 23:35:47 +0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I shot this in Sweden 25 years ago with a Fuji 801 and a Vivitar 20/3.5 lens. > (Wish I had a better wide angle at that time.)
