: )) i'm smiling because, like leo, i recognize "the captain", even though in this shot he reminds me of ancient archimedes of syracruse bent over one of his most serious mathematical problems. good that he didn't notice you taking his image because otherwise i'd suspect he may have scolded you for the intrusion by hurling his famous last words at you, reportedly said to the roman soldier about to kill him*: "noli turbare circulous meos!" a misunderstanding of course, as his wife's least intention would be to mess with her husbands circles! and as soon as he finds out himself, he gives her his most mischievous eye-smile, as your second shot powerfully proves! ; )) great portrait work here, adele! in fact, if i were your husband, i'd be mighty pleased with my pensive, learned, handsome looks you gave me! i might even euphorically cry out "eureka!" ; )) hugs, sabine.
