Making time to reflect
posted by Paul
Many visit Cape Town's Company Gardens finding time to relax and reflect. Some draw, others write poetry, yet others while away the hours stretched out in the sun. This visit reminded me a little of our visit to the Luxembourg gardens in Paris. There was no wind, plenty of sun, and yet, the air was cool enough to cause a chill.The man in this photo sat for ages, looking at passers-by and scribbling on the paper. We're not quite sure what he was writing or drawing, but he appeared deep in thought.

What a simply stunning shot - so very powerful and emotive. One of your best!!!!
I really enjoyed this, and yes, it is powerful.
Like the compositin. Good photo for creative writing prompt.
I have to agree with you - I think this is one of Paul's best shots. I love it for a number of reasons - the composition (it wasn't cropped, this is the original composition), the colours (the red of the man's shirt against his dark chocolate brown skin and his blue jeans), the angle of the light, and the simplicity of what the subject is doing - he's writing on a scrap of paper with a very ordinary-looking pen, not painting watercolours or writing in a fancy journal. That makes it so universal. Love it!
It is a very nice photo and says a lot to the observer.
