Hi Thilo, I like the image you created here. Smoking on the balcony or outside because it's no longer politically correct to somke inside...:) So despite the freezing weather, the addiction continues. Somewhat recognisable, I must admit...:)

Cheers,

Hugo

This picture brings lots of sorrow to me Thilo :) as I smoke, I totally know the feeling, Here in Montreal, at work, I have to go outside the building to have a smoke :( sometimes it is way sub zero, but .. as Hugo said, it is the addiction, you presented all of this in a nice shot, very well done and I wish you happy new year, Cheers buddy,

Very cool and very mysterious.....I can not decide...if she turns around..will she be a breathtaking beauty or will she have a terryfying face... ?

Hi Thilo,
It seems there is an interesting conversation started by the people making comments on this shot. It is as if you have caused us to create a story or a scenario surrounding the "Smoking Woman" Is she shrouded in shame with her dark hood being forced to smoke outside in the cold? Or is she laughing and joking while talking on a cell phone?
It is an interesting phenomenom... people being forced to smoke outside now a days. It is quite comical at my workplace because we have a company rule of no smoking on company property. So, officially smokers can not even smoke in their own cars in the parking lot. All the die-hard addicts have to line up just on the other side of the company property line when taking breaks. They stand out there like penguins in the snow and rain. Amazing to me, but true. You see it happening everywhere in Toronto now. Even bars and night clubs are smoke free!
