Maybe members would like to share their favourite photographs. This is one of mine; taken by Herbert Mason from the roof of the Daily Mail building, it shows St Paul's Cathedral at the height of the London Blitz in 1940:

It is difficult to choose one photo. This one by Henri Bresson is simply inspiring. There is here complex juxtaposition of geometrical forms which would not have been realized as such if the master of Leica had not immortalized this unique moment. (France, 1932)

Marcelo, I love it. I will have to give it some more thought to see the exact appeal, but I genuinely do like it.
