This week, Paula has given us five words from which to choose one or more to illustrate…I am choosing Clandestine.
First up, the literal illustration – this was a hidden printer, used to create the clandestine publications produced by the Warsaw Uprising.:
Now for the emotive image (one that I have used before)…. in the shadows of night time Warsaw, who knows what clandestine activity might be going on here:

An ideal combination, Sue. The person in the lower picture might well have been making their way to that secret printing press!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete – that’s exactly what I was hoping someone would say!
Wonderful. When I see a street shot like yours, I am sorry I don’t live in the old town of Zagreb to capture something similar in the wee hours. The printer interpretation is excellent, Sue, but I love the second a bit more. Thank you. I was glad to see you participate.
Thank you, Paula, pleased you like these! Have you seen Pete’s comment?
Now I have :D. A story weaved between the two pics 🙂
Absolutely!

The second image is brilliant – so film noir.
Thanks, Suzanne – that’s what I like to think!
Atmospheric and technically clever. That is what I think of the second shot. Particularly interesting as I was recently in Warsaw!
Thank you! Glad you like!
so old
Yup
Both images are great, the first one appeal to my heart since I use to work in a printing office and I love those old machines. The second image is so perfectly composed and it is an interesting photo that brings a lot of questions to the veiwer.
Thanks, Lena! Yes, the second image should have you thinking who?, where? why? and so on! 😀
Exactly!
Sue I can just imagine your face when you saw this, it ticks several of your boxes!
Which one? The printing press?
Yep!
Indeed you, a few boxes ticked….but equally, I ticked boxes with the second image, too – shadows and mystery!!
I thought he was just heading out for a pint! One track mind, some folk, Sue 🙂
Oh, absolutely 🙄
Fantastic street shot, Sue. The printer definitely qualifies for sinister. What a history!
Glad you like the street shot, and the printer was only meant to be clandestine, not sinister!
Hahaha Sorry, I obviously had sinister on the brain at that moment. 😆
Now I’m intrigued to know why that word!!
Me too. 😅
🙄😂😂😂
I love the composition, light, angles, silhouette in that second image. Great shot, Sue.
Thanks, Lynne – a winner, then!!
Thumbs up for sure 🙂
😀😀
