Louis Posted June 26, 2018 Share #1861  Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Columbia against Poland  On Sunday, 23 of July, streets were completely deserted in Miami, but restaurants with big TV screens were over flooded and noisy! Columbia was playing against Poland in the World Cup; and as we know, there is a huge population of Latin Americans in South Florida.  I was in the Wynwood area and everyone was watching the match on a giant screen of the market place. There are a few more in the Street Gallery:  https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/285924-explosive-miami/?p=3543565  All with CL and Vario Elmar-T, 18-56. ( I think this lens is great and very much under rated by many. )    Edited June 26, 2018 by Louis 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 29, 2018 Share #1879  Posted June 29, 2018 So incomprehensible. I am taking a trip to Auschwitz this summer.  All remaining family members on my maternal great grandparents side, who still resided in Poland at the onset of WWII, perished there or in other camps in Poland. Rob   I admire your courage. I couldn't handle the experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropo54 Posted June 29, 2018 Share #1880  Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I admire your courage. I couldn't handle the experience.  JaapV:  To be there is to feel the emotion, and to feel the emotion is to be able to impart the darkness to others; so, hopefully no one forgets so it does not happen again.  I don't know whether you'd seen "Saving Private Ryan", but there's a scene there where Tom Hanks is challenged by one of his men for freeing a German soldier who has been captured after an exchange in which some of Hanks' men were killed. Rather than execute him on the spot, Hanks' character blindfolds him, disarms him, and tells him to walk towards the American lines and turn himself in. One of his men is irate about the decision.  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ The dialogue between Hanks and his men follows:   Captain Miller: Back home when I tell people what I do for a living, they think, well, that, that figures. But over here its a big, a big mystery. So I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even gonna to recognize me whenever it is I get back to her -- and how I'll ever be able to tell her about days like today. Ryan -- I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. Man means nothin' to me. It's just a name. But if -- you know -- if going to Ramel and finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife -- well, then, then that's my mission.  You wanna leave? You wanna go off and fight the war? Alright. Alright, I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________  To make a long story short: I've lead a very fortunate and comfortable life, but sometimes complacency and comfort is best shaken to be reminded about trying to make the world a better place by not forgetting the evils. To try to understand the incomprehensible, to try to forgive, and to try to make certain that by remembering and feeling 'we' hopefully do not allow these horrors to re-occur.  One of many extraordinary scenes in the movie. ​Here's the link on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QspU7uDDM8 Edited June 29, 2018 by ropo54 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
