I saw this contrast-of-colours scene - along with a wizened old man puffing away on a smoke - in a small nowhere village I drove through today, and thought the capture would work as a colour contrast for today’s prompt. I think there's a sort of little street-life bar next to those two chairs. There sure was a lot of red!

Thank you! Who knows what his story is. He might be diabetic (big problem here), might’ve had a stroke… anything, really. He's not posing, he was standing just like this, as rigid as a board. I personally think he's a real old-time village geezer with health issues, who's probably thrown back the booze a bit too hard in his younger days. The fact that he's unshaven and appears to be pretty much toothless doesn't help his countenance very much either.
