Can we please just post one picture again?

My parents’ analog camera, built in 1987, with a slightly misaligned viewfinder. Unter den Linden, sunset.
I wanted to frame the vanishing point, so I waited a few minutes to see if anything interesting happens. He came out of nowhere. A penny-farthing, gliding through traffic on Unter den Linden—golden hour, the sun straight ahead, the whole street stretching into it.
One glance my way. One grin. Gone.
Two centuries passing each other on the same stretch of asphalt.
