The diagonal lines make for such a strong image and works great in monochrome. Lots of fine detail too. A clever musical match :-) One of my fave tracks by the Carpenters. Pretty much have everything they recorded :-)

Thank you, Karen, for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Roger Bennion ^club
