Photomarathon November 2018 (III)

“Can you come over real quick, just want to check if I have the pictures in the right order”, said M., after downloading my submissions to the computer. Haha, that shows how well they fit the topics. NOT. Oh well. These are the pictures I chose: 01 Amadeus 02 La Paloma 03 Imagine 04 O…
