Last week my children had vacation, and one day I took them to
Europapark, an amusement park near Freiburg in Germany. The park is no
worse nor better than other such facilities (think of a Disney World
copy on a smaller scale and with a distinct EU twist), but the children
had fun and that is the main thing. Whenever I go to such places I
always photograph my children on the rides. This week's photo is of some
complete strangers, though. We were on a pirate boat which swung 180
degrees, like a giant swing on steroids. I was attracted by the family
facing me and squeezed off some shots, the best of which is:

This is Leica photography as practiced by the street photographers taken
to the extreme. Since I was being equally buffeted, there is some shake
even with a relatively high shutter speed (1/250 or 1/500, I think), and
there was not much time for accurate focusing or metering. Just shoot
and hope for the best. Taken with the 35mm Summilux on Kodachrome 64.

The complate PAW index is at:

and comments are welcomed and appreciated as always.
