Photographer's Note
The atmosphere of the earth, we now know, contains far more oxygen or far less argon (whichever way one likes to put it) than does Mars. The invigorating influences of this excess of oxygen upon the Martians indisputably did much to counterbalance the increased weight of their bodies. And, in the second place, we all overlooked the fact that such mechanical intelligence as the Martian possessed was quite able to dispense with muscular exertion at a pinch.
But I did not consider these points at the time, and so my reasoning was dead against the chances of the invaders. With wine and food, the confidence of my own table, and the necessity of reassuring my wife, I grew by insensible degrees courageous and secure.
"They have done a foolish thing," said I, fingering my wineglass. "They are dangerous because, no doubt, they are mad with terror. Perhaps they expected to find no living things--certainly no intelligent living things.
"A shell in the pit" said I, "if the worst comes to the worst will kill them all."
The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells

He-he-he, how clever!
And it's not easy, I suppose, finding a suitable characters
to carry the scene in the FG - but then, it's up to one's
skill and patience to pull a trigger in the right
moment, once the target is found.
Having read the first paragraph of your note, I though:
"Poor Gal, these recent problems with TE connectivity
left a toll on his brain!"
Then it all clicked (in my mind), and there we are - hope
there are still some people left in Geneve, that not
everyone's fled the city!?!

O que realmente gosto aqui é da naturalidade das pessoas, como se năo tivessem reparado em ti.Geralmente năo gosto de inclinaçőes mas devo admitir que aqui está fantástica e transmite um dinamismo que de outra maneira năo seria conseguido. Gosto muito mesmo desta foto.

Hi Gal,
Switzerland did well at putting all these cables in the skies to protect the population from the invaders. I like how the red connects the subjects here, and contrasts with the otherwise cold gloomy tones. The pointed finger adds a way out of this buisy photo.
The note is brilliant!
Nicely done!

Hello Gal,
Is this a air balloon or a Zeppelin, I think a Zeppelin.
Long time ago that I saw a Zeppelin, here above the threads see we clear a great wonderful object.
It couple in foreground can maybe dispute but not about the Zeppelin, maybe have the man to long in pub remained.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
John.
