This post was originally intended for last week's Sepia Saturday theme.( Illusions:trick photos: big& small) But I was too late submitting, so.......I'm thinking it can equally apply this week instead?

I took this photo on 30 August 1997.In Howth near Dublin .It was the weekend Princess Dianne died in Paris.
I was with Julie Boardman and her friend His Drayness (who i went to teacher training college with) Julie said "take a photo of me squashing this man" ( a sepia display of 1900's images..this one being The Giant's Causeway in Ireland's 'Six Counties'.)
So I did!

Nice squash. Sometimes I wish for such power.
Digital Power !
It took a minute...I saw light, I saw shadow, I saw men standing, and then...oh yes, the fickle finger of fate! Well done in a sly manner.
I'm with Barb...I had to enlarge the photo to get the full impact. Nice selection! A photo within a photo, light, shadow, a life-sized woman pointing, small figures afar. I'd call this a double-header for this week and last!
Thanks Molly & Barbara for getting the picture!
I had to look at your photo several times before I noticed the finger.
Terrific accidental art! However the man she is squashing is at the Cliffs of Moher which I recognize as I was standing very near that same spot in mid-June. (it also says that in the painting's caption) The Cliffs of Moher on Ireland's west coast are breathtaking, but so is the Giant's Causeway on the northern coast which I saw a few days later. Lot's of people around who deserve a good Monty Pythonesque squashing.
Thanks Mike for correcting my memory failure .It makes more sense as Moher is in The Republic & The Giant's in Ulster.
Although Ive been to both Belfast & Dublin (and bits in between)I've never been to the West Coast......They say its both beautiful & dramatic.
Yea, Pythons sprang to my mind too.
