Nice work, kaffeemeister. When I first started taking pictures, the fastest film was Tri-X at 400ASA, and everyone was buzzing about "available light." I always used whatever light was available, bright or faint. Flare is simply a proprty of lenses; it can and should be used to advantage.

Nothing better than capturing moments like these, you did well.
Time goes by so quickly, seems like yesterday when my kids were young.
Now they conspire ... beware .. :o)
