Very first trial - it's finally here! Photoshop on mobile has become a worthy rival of my favorites PicSay, Pixlr and Snapseed. The previous Express version was too basic, nearly useless, and I uninstalled it. Now (what is branded) Photoshop Touch is 'the real thing' with much of the full functionality as we knows it from the PC. A must for tablets it also works on (the better) phones. I can smell lots of fun coming my way :)

(Gate?) of the Bevis Marks synagogue, built in 1701 for the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish (Sephardim) community of London. Still there, 3 centuries later...

The kind of history I discover as I stroll the City in a hurry. It's not only banks and funny-shaped towers (this is right at the foot of the Gherkin), there are much older jewels lurking every step of the way. I have no time to examine detail or read memorial plates, only a split second to snap a shot - but I google them up later and often find fascinating stuff... A camera (a phone) is a great trigger for further exploration.

Who is behind bars? Who is free and who - a prisoner: the happy birds in the cage or the miserable hungry cat on the outside? And where is 'in' and 'out', which is better?... "It all depends!", a wise man said :)

Tough luck doesn't necessarily come in the shape of an oncoming train. Sometimes it's just iron bars that keep you in the tunnel...

A sunny day out at the Royal Landscape and Windsor Great Park, around the lake. WIthout a camera (again!) - but thank God for phones. More to come from this day and place -

City gate at night

maistora posted a photo:

It's not the city gate, but I call it so because the entrance to the famous Kreshchatik boulevard i Kiev is flanked by two (almost) symmetrical towers, one old and one modern (the latter, perhaps deliberately, mirroring the shape and size of the first).

Update: touched up online with Picnik Oct-2011 (a cool lazy way to refresh old photos :)
