Is it better to be on the inside?

Friendship
it can mean so many different things
a lasting relationship
a short term thing
personal
work related
casual or committed
it may just be a smile
a few words
reaching out to someone in need

this image makes me feel sad. I wonder what his story is..

[Christine Webb]

Sad fav

[Graham Thresher]

A deep thinking candid capture.

[Taffy]

This is really striking, Annie.

[Babs]

I love this shot Annie, it tells such a story. A sad story though. Hope he's not left out in the cold for long.

[Graeme Stevens]

Outstanding street shot, me likey

[Annie D]

@shepherdmanswife @365projectorgchristinewebb @thresheg @taffy @onewing @graemestevens
thanks folks - I was sad when I saw him but then thought maybe he just came outside for a smoke - I hope that is it

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful but sad ! His whole body language cries out rejection and hopelessness -- a great capture of human lonliness !

[Ann T.]

Wonderful shot. Sad situation

[Annie D]

@beryl it does Beryl
@aat3877 too many in the same boat sadly

[john morley]

[Clare Gadsby]

Wonderful capture - and congrats on the f word win :)

[Sam]

I wonder why he is sitting down, even if he is smoking! It would be awfully cold on that ground :(

[DbJ]

[Annie D]

@pistache oh thank you didn't know I had - will get on it :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower so I've heard ha ha

[Hazel]

Interesting juxtaposition.

[Kevin Wallace]

What a fantastic capture, Ma'am. Revisit the moment and write more, please :) Fav for what is there

[Gena Pegg]

Lovely words Annie...and so true. This fellow looks very lonely and could us a friend...or maybe he just wants to be alone. Perhaps just acknowledging him with a smile?

[Annie D]

@kevin365 thank you Kevin - i will give revisiting a go and see what transpires
@eyesmile i am prone to smiling at people as I walk along the street or through the shops - it is amazing the different responses I get - from an are you crazy? look to a smile in return and everything in between
