But hey, I needed some input and some reason and some inspiration and some self assigned project. I’ll try with this one and snail-mail it. Some day.
nach einer weile betrachten des bildes finde ich dieses immer schöner … aus den wolken fällt der regen der sich nun im strassengraben sammelt und wiederum den blick freigibt woher er kommt … ein wunderbares s&w-bild!
Ich werde mal versuchen, es zu drucken. Ich weiß jetzt schon, dass ich nach dem zehnten Versuch erstmal aufgebe ;-).
Aber wenn das jemals was wird, schicke ich Dir gerne einen …
