Well, I spent quite some time trying out different approaches to this challenge.... not quite what I was hoping for, but I'm all out of patience and ideas, so this is it!
LARGE: View On Black
It was interesting with this one. Initially the two men where sitting chilling out under the sun. Then the third one arrived and joined the one of them. Later a women was passing by. Then all but one have left... I was waiting for someone. So you would probably see the whole story:-))
وان كانت الفزعه من احرار لاحرار
حنا البروق اللي غدت سحب ومزون
وحنا السكوت اللي سبق عصف واعصار
وحنا سباع الكون يا..لعنة الكون
وحنا عَرب والعُرب ماتترك الثار
بافعالنا..ماهي بقولة يقولون
نزعل..ولكن بالزعل دمنا حار
نفزع لاشفنا العذارى يصيحون

Continuation of a Story
After I retired and twenty- five years later, I made a return trip to Sri Lanka. Now I had the time and the money to see more of the island at a leisurely pace. Yes, sadly the civil war was still raging on. What I learned from my first trip there and what I suspected before I first visited, was the war was confined to the north of the island. Yes, Colombo endured some random bombing attacks, but they were few.
I didn’t recognize Colombo. The population had mushroomed. The streets were clogged with automobiles and were a congested nightmare. The old Cinnamon Hotel, however, was still one of the city’s famous places to stay. I chose, however, to stay at another world famous hotel, the Galle Face hotel on the Galle Face Green, next to the Indian Ocean.
The hotel’s origin was as the small Galle Face House, a Dutch villa. In 1864, four English men expanded the structure and created the Galle Face Hotel. The name is derived from the expansive green lawn in front of the Indian Ocean. It now is considered one of the oldest hotels east of the Suez Canal. The description speaks to its complicated colonial past. The hotel is cited in the book entitled, “1000 Places to See Before You Die”, my favorite travel guide.
The lovely old white colonial property has a wonderful wide veranda, a great place to relax and contemplate the hotel’s history. The soft gentle breeze from the sea combines with the stirring of air from the old ceiling fans. You are taken back to the island's romantic past.

Another parting gift from Neil (ta very much). This Chinon is a monster, the auto winder only serves to make it look even more silly. The standard lens is quite fast though this ones a bit dirty and could do with a strip down. There appears to be a slight problem with this example, after a few frames the shutter button doesn't return, leaving the shutter open, you have to give the button some stick to make it free up. It probably needs a tickle and some lubricating, this one is on my to-do list (read: to break further list).
