pauledell Posted November 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have noticed that I have reached my 40,000th post. I have certainly enjoyed this venture and I cherish all the friends I have met on the forum. I know that I don't post my work as much as I discuss the pictures that the rest of you do but that's the way I hope to encourage and enlighten the rest of you. I have selected some old files taken in the 1970's with a Leica M4 with a 50mm Summicron. Whenever I look at these pictures, I smile at the magic of Christmas. Oh come check out the decorations in the window. I wish I was back in my younger days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

washingtonydc Posted November 18, 2014 Share #11 Posted November 18, 2014 Paul, these are fantastic--thanks for sharing. I especially love how the third picture captures so much of Christmas: the shopping, the church reflected in the store's window, people enjoying time together, and children getting impatient!
