Christmas at the Norweigien hospital in London, WWII. What I find affecting about this picture is that it's clearly staged, with everyone playing their part in the tableau--except that young man in the bed front right, who just stares at the camera. I feel there's so much behind that gaze. Source

Aw, this is such a sweet series of pictures ^_^ .
(And it's great seeing the Steinmetzes grow change :D .)
Merry Christmas!
Feels like the Christmas season is in the house, if it's designed like this one. Also the idea of Santa Claus passing by through the window giving gifts is just interesting. Perhaps, we should try doing that one for the next Christmas.
