Beautiful daughter and superb catch of her eyes. The fog is our destiny - why not enjoy it? This view is beautiful. The grid and leaves is a bit too dark for my tast, yet very well seen and composed. About loading with eyes shut , it reminds me of my early days in the Air Force when we learned to get our arms to pieces and reconstruct them with blinded eyes under the threat of a chronometer ... I read that some photogs had tuitions at Leica to be able to repair the gear on the field too. Also I was asked this afternoon to unload a basic automatic Nikon my mother in law hasn't used for long - I took up my vest and slipped my arms through the sleeves in he old way while keeping the light from the camera inside. Coincidence? I hadn't done this for 5 years with another Nikon my son had got struck in Hungary ... Never happens with a digital camera, and I must have missed it ;-) Keep shooting the happy side of life Daniel !
