(The camera Peter used to take the pic, balanced on a beer glass, was stolen the following year. But it took lovely images — it had Zeiss glass — and this one was transferred to my laptop while we were still in the Brasserie, waiting for our own train to somewhere or other. I immediately started playing with it in Corel PhotoPaint with the Buzz plugin, aware that if Gandalf the Grey stopped in somewhere for a beer, he might look very much like this…)
