Muy buena serie amigo, me gustan todas! la primera muy bien visto, el retrato del piloto muy bueno, los helados …. un tema que también voy acumulando fotos, la gente en la orilla y la última imagen romántica, son para mi las mejores

Un abrazo

> I am on a one-night trip to Brussels. Today I have meetings at the European Commission later this morning, but yesterday I took a morning flight so as to have a Sunday afternoon and evening to enjoy the city in sunshine and warm weather. For once, I took my Leica M8 on the trip, figuring that with daylight from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. I would have enough light not to need high ISOs (the Leica’s weak point). On the other hand, I would be able to take advantage of the Leica’s strength, in particular for discreet people photography, where the ability to pre-focus and quickly compose and snap make it a supreme tool on the street. Seven images, taken throughout the day (the first two on the plane).

> Shortly before landing, the crew announced that this was the captains last flight before retiring after a 43-year career in the air. The passengers applauded heartily, and when we landed and I was disembarking, I shook his hand and asked to take a quick portrait:

> Brussels was full of people and these electric scooters on this warm summer day. Most looked pretty unstable. I just read that this is the most dangerous transport mode of all—three times riskier than riding a motorcycle:
