Memories! You know the yellow sign with the guy falling down the stairs with a cross over it at the top? My little sister (Kim, 8) thought is was a guy dancing (as in "No Dancing On The Stairs plz"), so she danced all the way down just to piss off the guy impeding her liberty

Very similar to the shot I got when I was there a couple of months ago! Even the title, lol: [link]

Anyway, a lovely shot, the earthly tones work wonderfully with the eye-catching red among the people. I like how the two on the upper right corner are sharp while everyone else is moving.

i'm curious how many identical photos are there in the world... including mine, haha (;

sican In reply to pietruszka [2010-04-25 11:40:59 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't say identical. Maybe similar... Someone's would be slightly different, a different colour selection, angle, a bit of tilting of the photo etc.
