Judith, I have been into your site again and I am truly fascinated by the picture of "The duel between Pushkin and D'Anthes" Do you mean that they actually dualled, with pistols and thirty paces and all that. How positively enchanting !! Who won ?? And who's grave is that. Going to the Photo club with all your pic's on Monday. Will keep you posted. Your pic's are delightful Terry.

Judith, Every once in a while (not too often) a delightful group of pictures hit the screen which are most pleasing. Not just the subject matter, which in this case is superlative (I never tire of pictures of Russia) Your group is simply slendid, sizing etc, angles, depth, clarity. Very well done. Will let our photographic club comment (which I'm sure will be favorable) and get back to you. Again, well done. Terry.
