100 Strangers Project - #38

This is Laura, who I met yesterday down at The Ossuary in Hythe. I initially noticed her bag which stood out somewhat in the surroundings, and then the fact she was entirely dressed in black. I admired her bag, and asked if I could take her picture saying she could turn away from me if she felt awkward. She gave me a huge smile instead! She liked the result so much she asked me to take one of her using her phone. Laura and her husband were visiting the area but her husband didn't want to go inside The Crypt.
A macabre place to take a portrait shot for the 100 Strangers but the shot is also very original. I like her smile and the fact that her bag matches the place visited.

@rjb71 How observant of you! Because I only had a prime lens on the camera and the space inside was limited, I had to resort to my phone :)
