Re: PESO - The New Canadian
Quoting frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com: In front of City Hall there's a skating rink. I love watching folks that I'm guessing are new to this country. They get out there on their new skates, slipping and sliding and falling and just having a great time, like this young man who, by the sound of his accent, is a recent arrival from Africa: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-canadian.html Skating on ice isn't as easy as it looks, I guess... Excellent. Nice balance to the shot and the skater doesn't seem to be doing too badly either. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - The New Canadian
Looks like he is close to doing a header into the ice. the sigh placement and the look on the girl's face finishes it off nicely In the best of all possible worlds you would have been lucky enough to have the sign farther to the right so there wasnt quite so much white ice. His hand looks like it is resting on the small board in the back - don't think that helped him stay up. Did he manage not to fall? such good fun! ann On 2/24/2012 05:39, Brian Walters wrote: Quoting frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com: In front of City Hall there's a skating rink.

Re: PESO - The New Canadian
Thanks, Ann. I agree with your comments. There are many things that I wish would have been different but all in all I'm satisfied with it. One of those one-chance deals. Not perfect, but fun. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks to all who commented and looked.
