Very interesting, Mr Reid!

Wie gehts mit Ihnen? Was wunschen sie zu essen? That was from college, 40 years ago now, so I'm sure I didn't get it right, but being a spy I'm sure you could decipher. Very creative and humorous.

Robin, if you were sporting a bikini this would qualify as "surrealist" work!

Quite creative, Robin.

Oh My Robin. You truly are a rare bird. I have sat here shaking my head from side to side for the past 5 minutes. I think I might be speechless

A Spy? Me thinks you transmit too much data to be a spy :^)

This particular travesty is over, over, over. May it survive only in dreams. Be that as it may...a Len Deighton fantasy, fun pic especially with the SoCal attire. ;-)

No place for joking during the Cold War, it's good that that time is over and you can have some fun.

Guest		15-Feb-2006 14:10
Lol, keep always that good sense of humor!!

Dressed like that you would be freezing your buns off today in Berlin.

Wow, That brings back memories used to go through Checkpoint Charlie on flag tours on a weekly basis as young Soldier 1974/76. Great shot

So cool picture! Nice work Robin! Still this image gives me chills! I live 27 years on the wrong side of the checkpoint Charlie! I feed myself with hopes listening Voice of America and Free Europe radio stations sponsored by CIA. For this little thing I could get arrested by political police. Bad thing is that all is over now and I am still on the wrong side of the planet... :(

Very interesting and informative image.
