Glad you had fun Jim, but if you're talking about straightening
the building that is just left of center, on the waterfront, you'll
notice there's a walkway running between the two buildings and
the building on the right really was "offset" just like I captured it.
The color looks just a tad too overdone for my tastes, but again,
I'm glad you had fun with it.
Thanks again, Jim, for hosting a fun challenge!

Thanks Roadrunner for hosting this challenge. I believe it will be an interesting one.
I like your shot here of some one just enjoying the time and relaxing..
One thing I find solitude in is Flying although hard to believe but YES it can be peaceful and quiet at times.
And also busy with cockpit management.

A good challenge and really great photos all. I love hiking alone with my camera to see what I can find, or just being alone with nature in general. Here are some animals with which I was fortunate enough to be able to share their solitude.

Just a few more of a place I find that is quiet and with solitude to think things over.
And I can concentrate on what I am doing.
Maybe this is a little out of sync, but it works for me.

No waders , yet!
No waders , yet!I didn't want to intrude on his solitude, Judy, so I only made one exposure and slipped away -- but I would have loved to see how he handled any fish he caught.

I REALLY, REALLY like this one! It's minimalistic but tells a great story - I think this is my favorite of all the images you've posted!
Thank you so much, Sue! The 1946 negative was buried in my archives with a contact print for more than 50 years before I decided to make an enlargement. It was buried under an assortment of dramatic views of wrecked buildings.

Thank you for your comments, Bill! I didn't want wait around any longer than to take the one exposure, since I was really in the area to photograph bombing ruins. This was taken in Spring of 1946 with an amateur 6x9-cm German Kodak(?) folding camera (see photo), one of several cameras I carried in a kit bag. Frankly, I was surprised by the negative's sharpness when I enlarged it decades later. It was originally composed in the vertical position because at the time I mentally wanted the extra negative space top and bottom for the eventual enlargement. I doubt that my Rolleiflex would have delivered a negative any better than this.

Nice capture RichardQ pg48 - at peace with ones self -
Thank you, Transbuff! Because this was shot only a year after the Nazi surrender, I suspect this fisherman could have been a newly released POW. Our Occupation Army didn't want the responsibility for feeding the German POWs any longer than absolutely necessary to meet the rules of the Geneva Convention.
