Now it feels like wining bronze, silver and gold medals at the same time, no, three gold ones 🙂

I'm still impressed by the Statue of Liberty image. It just has that proper "style" for these kinds of images.

Kostya, maybe you should visit NYC more often. Aside from the statue of liberty image, there's a lot of really good images in this thread. The woman with the Chanel scarf on her head comes to mind. Great image in color.

Thank you, Jeff! "Liberty" was quick edit of small JPEG1 file in the old and free Silver Fast processing module. Good for forum only... I'll try to replicate it with larger file suitable for inkjet prints. Or do contact lith print from digital negative at one of your papers.

Personal travel is all but money. Single income family, we have kids to support, house to pay, cars to fix... So, we are mostly staying at home and go for local events and hiking, boating.

Two older daughters are better now on travel. They just came back from Miami. And while taking connection in NYC on return flight, something went slightly wrong and older one was compensated with big voucher for next flight...

Final story.
Time ago one of our daughters founded the leatherman tool. It was on the road and getting rusty. I cleaned it and used for years. Broke the knife blade, but still used it. Right before we went to NYC I helped mother and kid to free jammed bicycle chain.
So I had it with me on the trip. Until we went to Liberty and they took it away. Knifes were OK, tools not allowed... Next day we are walking back to the bus terminal and ... loud cry from the street. Child cry. I turned around come closer. Something to do with kid and bicycle.

People came to rescue, one is asking me - why? I'm watching and cry is still on. So, I decided to join the rescue team. Kid has lower part of the leg in the wheel of the bicycle.
No blood, no deformation, leg is between spokes. Hands are useless. And my leatherman tool is at the Liberty terminal... I turned around to the sidewalk and started to yell - tool! Who has tool!!. I don't know how to get it right in English. Then I saw guys on bicycles, yelled to them - do you have tools to cut? And they came, but someone else behind approached and started to cut wheel spokes with the tool...

We came back home and I tried Leatherman tool search on eBay. And here it come. The original Leatherman tool, just as I have before. It came from Portland, Oregon seller. The city I like most in USA...
