the car is mangled, but the poor lady has a look of complete serenity on her face.
Picture subsequently used by Andy Warhol.

I have a lovely large book of his photographs, and it's probably my favorite photography book. I love his photos of young priests playing in the snow - there are many, this is just one.

Historical Photos, by curiousgeorge on Dec 21, 2014 0:31:10 GMT 1, From the Grandfather of street photography
At the time puddle jumping pictures were pretty popular, thus often staged. This was a pure chance photograph taken through a hole in the fence.

This one isn't just because I'm a Saints fan, it was also one of the biggest upsets ever in the FA Cup. Man U 0 - Southampton 1. IMO this was bigger than the much talked about Wimbledon Crazy Gang win as they were in the same division when they beat Liverpool 12 years after this 1976 photo.
