Selective memory
Selective memory Last week we had a theatre stage covered with carnations, this week we have tree branches hanging from the ceiling of a restaurant. While I still cherish the memory of the ballet performance between the thousands of carnations, the dinner under the tree branches has passed into oblivion. Photo of the week: Restaurant…

Bird’s-eye view (2)
Both fair ladies have chosen to dress in black – completely or principally -, in stark contrast with their white skins. The one sits free and relaxed on the edge of the pavement. The coffee cup next to her makes it likely that she works in the gallery behind her back and that she has…
