Time stopping and pure joy destilled in an apartment block elevator. This was in the early hours after a night out whilst on holiday with my girlfriend in Krakow, Poland. We'd just come from a karaoke bar on the other side of the city where we'd sang together and for eachother. Having soaked up as much of the night as we could manage, we were on the way up to our apartment for the week - our final stop.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
Two women posing for a photo in an elevator mirror. One holds a white digital camera to her face with her tongue out whilst the other smiles at her shoulder.
