Years later now, the impression remains of a vivacious model striving for permanent wings to uplift herself in airy lightness, and your canon power was a great help in achieving this!

The famous Henri Cartier-Bresson image updated?

Wonderful with the reflection and the vivid colours of the bikini as a contrast to the hazy blue and grey in the background.

Oh yea, I thought at first Wanda was a confirmed "goddess" type with ability to walk on water!!! (Well the goddess part is right!)

James, this is the worlds biggest puddle; anyway I'm pretty sure it really is worlds largest puddle. This was taken on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. It is absolutely flat for miles and miles. This time of year after a good storm you will have an inch or more water on the flats. In a month or two this will be completely dry. By September it will be a super dry, hard, salt, crust. This is where they drive the cars to set the world land speed records. They use this very area because it is so flat and smooth. The track is over a seven miles straight away.
