Where WAS the above shot taken? Interesting wall indeed.

Yep, got that. Two smashing shots. Now what was the question again?
in answer to these questions:

I am using these pictures to illustrate the definition that I proposed (but
do not necessarily believe in) between a snapshot and a not-snapshot.
Under the definition the first photograph is a snapshot because I had not
intended to take that particular photograph. The opportunity came along and
I took it, with the help of Valentin Donisa.
I took the 2nd photo a week or so later. I had a good idea of what I had
with the first photo, so when I saw the wall with the Coke mural I knew it
could make an interesting counterpoint to the monastery and the nun. So I
waited for several hours over several days while the light was right until a
woman walked in front of it in the right place - it is not at all the
'natural' place to walk. I had hoped for another nun, of course, or for a
slightly better (in some way) woman, but I would probably still be there
now, and it does the trick. Given the intention, and the active seeking out
of the photo, I do not consider it a snapshot under the definition I gave.
No, it probably isn't, but it sure is interesting!
what a history!
Thanks, keith
