So many wonderful images from all around the world! I like “People Crossing” all the different expressions – folks momentarily sharing space at a crosswalk – reminds me of when I’m an elevator with a bunch of strangers – I usually say something goofy to break the awkward silence. “One and Nuns” – sweet caption and you got them framed under New Mission. I love “Breaktime” and great placement of your copyright. But if I had to choose a favourite it would be “Window Dressing”! lol!
