Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
Through the graves the wind is blowing,
Freedom soon will come;
Then we’ll come from the shadows.
Through the graves the wind is blowing,
Freedom soon will come;
Then we’ll come from the shadows.
from A Partisan by Leonard Cohen.....
What a terrific shot and, yes, the B&W is perfect! Love Cohens words as well! Well, it's Thursday here, but I can't believe another weekend is fast approaching!! Time flies whether you're having fun or not, but fortunately, most of the time I am having fun! Have a great one and, yes, stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteIst schon manchmal merkwürdig wie so etwas zustande kommt. Tolle Aufnahme zu richtiger Zeit...

This is just great! Very nice Grace. Beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteI like the B&W whenever street photography is involved. It seems to make pictures sharper, and some details of the urban landscape less distracting. This way more attention can be focused on the subjects or the story you are telling. I tried it for the first time in a series of shots taken at Seattle's Pike Place Market two posts ago and really liked the results. Well done, Grace. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteB&W is perfect for this shot! It's not quite Friday here yet, but soon.
ReplyDeleteI like the B & W here too!
ReplyDeleteLove the Leonard Cohen lyrics (makes me want to go and put on some of his music :)...lovely photograph and now I can't imagine it any way *except* b&w! Hope you've a great weekend too!

He's no accidental tourist! He's a spy, obviously. And he is tracking you through a new device designed by the American CIA - It's called "WCU" and is specifically for use in Australia. CIA employees sometimes yell out, "Aussies! Where you go we go! We see you!"
ReplyDeleteScary, huh?
It's a good candid shot, and as a shot I like it ... but I'm not a B&W fan.
ReplyDeleteReading your post on Thursday make me think of something I read earlier... It goes like that: what really messes your Friday up is realizing that it is actually Tuesday...
ReplyDeleteBW: great choice!
Oh, Leonard is in Barcelona right now!
ReplyDeleteI like this shot in B&W,and I think that this man is very beautyful! Haaaa, Leonard Cohen.. I saw a concert of him when I was younger, what a thrill!

No excellent black and white here. Great choice. I would have done the same thing. He is the man to lead the revolution:) If he were younger, maybe a Che Guevara:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad the weekend is almost here. Exhausted!
'The decisive moment'...
ReplyDeleteYay! I love going about with you

B&W looks great to me. And there are stories in this shot. I like it.
ReplyDeleteA good reminder with the quotes. The sign means a lot more after reading it. It is such a pleasure to be able to sit and relax talking about life. Your photo just tells that it is what freedom can bring us.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful picture indeed. Thank you for the inspiration. Please have a good Friday.
ReplyDeleteGreat street shot...
ReplyDeleteBlack and white are always more dramatic and it's a good choice for this photo.
ReplyDeleteCan't say without seeing the color version but this one is pretty darn good. We have a lot of partisans in this country these days, maybe far too many. But then I guess I am one myself.
ReplyDeleteAmazing b&w shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot - amazing face he has.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I think you could write a whole novel based on this one photo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice moment and pleasant day there. I love your idea for this picture and b&w is just perfect!

ReplyDeleteWould make a good cover shot for my 'spy' book...

Mrs White would have gone for b/w too.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I think of Hemingway???
Great quote! No wonder you couldn't resist, Grace.
