My husband is the king of patience, putting up with the taking of 1600 photos while on vacation, an average of one every 6 minutes for 8 hours a day. He took the above photo 4 times, letting me check the result each time. True, the last photo was the last time, but one does eventually have to set a limit.
Two photos from the World Press Photo Laureates from Russia and the Soviet Union exhibit at De Oude Kerk (the Old Church) in Amsterdam, May, 2013.

For email followers who don’t see the feature image in their email, here it is:
