rest a while
by K10D
an old man sitting on a plastic bag which contains fabric to act as a cushion. He only manages to walk several yards at a time before needing to sit and rest. I see him daily, following the same routine. I admire his will to get out and see and be seen.
Extreme contrast could not be avoided.

If I may add to your admiration, he also must have taken extra will with pride
to prepare and dress so impeccably well.
Thanks for sharing the shot and the story.
I guess some people can stop and try to understand whilst others show no care.
