Another oldie,

A chance encounter with the Gotthard Post Coach, at a much more sedate pace than in the famous depiction, where it is hurtling down the steep pass route with its asymmetric team of horses....even so, I only managed to snap a single image with my clunky old Hasselblad.
 
Hasselblad with 80mm Zeiss lens, Ilford B&W film.

Thanks for the visit - wishing you a peaceful, relaxing and joyous Christmas / holidays - quality time with friends, family and loved ones over the festive season.

Beautifully done Sinuhe. The treatment, and B&W processing suit this a treat. Wishing you and your loved ones, the very best for the festive season.

I agree with David, very well shot scene. I find that black and white processing works well.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays too.

A real glimpse of times gone by Sinuhe!  Perfect for the b/w treatment.  Not something you would want to do after enjoying the Christmas festivities... :) 


 Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy Christmas holiday to you and yours!

The B/W effect works really well for this scene, thanks for sharing, Sinuhe.
