In Holland, when you graduate from college, you hang your book bag out your window.

Hey Pete,

So that's why the book bag was hanging there. It seemed so odd to see it there. This is a really nice scene you captured. The timing with the woman on the phone is really good, and adds great interest.

A great capture of a slice of life.

Really nice candid, and with the book bag, now you've educated us, tells a story.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nice take on an interesting custom.

An interesting image that I really like in B&W. This could totally be me, but the woman looks like she has a tiny bit of motion blur...And I love it for this image. If it's just me, then let me continue thinking there is some tiny motion blur.

I think the glass in those windows could be as much as 600 years old and would not be flat. Maybe that's what you're noticing instead of a blur. I was at a friends house in Holland and he had replaced a stained glass window in his front door that was 300 years old. Everything is old there and people don't think anything of it.
