I was searching for something else and as usual unrelated images get thrown in. This i thought was a cracker. The link was not from this forum. Just went back of my browsing history. I found it here. https://pro.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult&STID=2S5RYDWRKHAD#/SearchResult&STID=2S5RYDWRKHAD&VBID=2K1HZOBNAYY33L Now I have found this "odd" one.
