About No-one could accuse me of not knowing how to treat a lady?
On our last night in York I took Carole for a walk, just as the sun was going down?
And ya know what?
I deliberately left one of my cameras at the B&B so that I had a hand free to hold HER hand!!
Then, I splashed out on a bag of fish and chips ~ between us!! :o)
And they say the age of romance is dead!!
Not while I?m around it isn?t!!
So if your man is needing a little advice on such matters, get him to e-mail: chris@romanticgestures.com.
Best regards to all,
Chris
P.S. The above picture is hardly PSed at all. The sky is original and so is the bridge, canoeist, water, boats, ducks, trees and leaping salmon!!

A whole bag of chips - wow, you'd win anyones heart with that :-)

I know this spot well, think that's "Lendal Bridge" just near the train station and it's for the best pub in York to the right of it, The Maltings, where I took Steve ages ago.

See the red boats are moored up for the night.

Such a great place to capture - ifd all the people would leave for a day, or just move to the side a bit....


John Beavin   {K:4477} 8/29/2005
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CHRIS I just had to shout that out, Pure magic By the way Carole could have used the box brownie you left behind?


Marian Man   {K:69445} 8/29/2005

You are a true romantic Chris!!!!!You have learned how to hold hands with Your Wife while still capturing beautiful photos of the surroundings!!!Now If You could only learn to keep one EYE on Your wife and one in the viewfinder at the same time You would step up another rung on the ladder of romantic greats!!!!LOL!!!And If You are like Me at all You have about three photographs of You and Your Wife together and about 12,000 landscape and other photos!!!

I think the Creator's handiwork here makes a very beautiful picture, Chris, VERY nicely captured! I feel privileged to have seen it. Thanks! To my favourites it goes...


Don Loseke   {K:32503} 8/29/2005
You had that exposure really zeroed in for this wonderful picture. How do you eat fish and chips, hold hands and take beautiful pictures like this? Man of many hands.. Great work Chris. Don.


Flowers     {K:11018} 8/29/2005
Gorgeous view. What a neat looking bridge. First time I've seen one decorated like that. Thanks for making us smile with your about's, Chris. Best wishes to you & Carole.

So Chris did you give up your day job? Out taking "wish you were here" snaps for the tourist board now huh. Well done my friend this is a keeper, unlike your wee salmon. lol


Larry Quigley   {K:12884} 8/29/2005
Beautiful image, Chris. Especially since you are telling us that only the sky, bridge, canoeist, water, boats, ducks, trees and leaping salmon are original. Therefore you have done a magnificent job of adding the buildings! I like the framing too :-) Best wishes, Larry.


Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 8/29/2005
Gorgeous. Page from a storybook. This is a grat shot Chris...thanks for sharing.


Dave Stacey   {K:120173} 8/29/2005
Well done, on all counts, Chris! I hope you'll have time for UF when you start getting that flood of romantic requests!
Dave.


Fabio Ficola   {K:10466} 8/29/2005

Great capture of Lendal Bridge Chris, I wish I had known you were over this way as we could have met up and even put a BBQ on for you both.

You will just have to come back and do it all again ;-)

Best wishes,
Steve
