i love them, simple idea too, great
What a beautiful idea. Thanks for sharing these. I also remember Russian Ark as being quite impressive, and the French diplomat was hilarious.
@B: I think that's why i liked them so much, Sometimes it's a really simple idea which is the most effective.
@A.D.E: Russian Ark is spectacular isn't it. I've watched it a few times and every time i see new details. Still don't know how they managed to shoot it!
These are great.
Oh they're gorgeous.
@Lottie: It's easy to forget we walk daily on streets where so much has happened.
@RP's: Gorgeous but also eerie.
