A John Woo moment?
I also loved that image, thanks Nozhik.
John Woo was well known for including doves in his films which usually flew away in slow motion as a violent act was about to erupt on the screen.
I am obviously still stuck in the B-movie groove, but Woo’s Hong Kong action films are above reproach for beautifully choreographed mayhem.
“The Killer” (1989), “Hard Boiled” (1992) and possibly “A better Tomorrow” (1986) are the benchmarks IMO. He never quite reached the same heights in the US unfortunately.

Weekend in May (part I)

Is this a snail or a slug, Filip?
Without the shell it looks like a slug. Slimy and cool all the same! Cheers, Daos

pedia slug Daos !!! ... but be sure you're not eating something ... i will come out !!!! Filip
Hehehe!
I can see why you were grossed-out, Filip! Still, slugs are very interesting creatures. My favorite slug-like critters are nudibranchs (sea slugs). They are often such colorful creatures (and sometimes toxic)! Check out how fanciful they look in this link...
can you tell me where in specific they were taken?
the text in picture #8 looked like ukrainian (well, whatever was in cyrillic), but there was a lot of other (latin?) text too. looked like a nice trip.
Thanks for sharing these great photos!
I particularly love the one of the birds flying up from the street! Very cool! Cheers, Daos

John Woo is one of my favorite directors...
...although, I do agree that his US work has, and probably never will, eclipse his Hong Kong films. The Killer is one of my favorite films. It's funny that Nozhik's photo made you think of Woo. I had the exact same reaction. My favorite scenes in John Woo...
Poetry in motion
“Woo makes the motion … seem like flower petals drifting in a breeze, and his scenes of gunplay are almost like a dance.” I couldn’t agree more. My first introduction to Woo’s work was actually “Hard Boiled”, so t...
Hello Nozhik.V!
Thanks for sharing the pics! I especially like how you captured the building in the last pic, nicely done! And nice macro of the snail! -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-05-19 09:34:10
