Reminds me of seaside resorts in Poland in the 1960s, minus the palm trees of course. The only reason Putin chose Sochi and bribed the IOC to agree is that it is close to the Caucasus and he wanted to make a political statement. For that reason, I am not watching a single minute of this charade. Pox on Russia. BTW--do you know the story of how Katya's father "acquired" the Leica? I don't suppose he walked into Dom Foto in Cologne and bought it ;-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ YNWA On Feb 14, 2014, at 7:21 AM, Peter Klein wrote: > Here's a topical Throwback Thursday.
