Right place.....right time

Luck often plays more than a fleeting role in my life.

Even lately, my attempts at getting in touch with high-end estate agencies was an utter waste of time, and I got a break due to an inbound enquiry (which almost never happens). Lady luck. It’s a funny old thing. The following photos are examples of shots
