Just walk on by...

John decided not to look like ‘Old Man Time” and booked for a hair and beard trim. We allowed enough time to go to a favourite cafe where the biscuits were just divine. I sat in front at the window and practiced catching people walking past.
To be thankful for:
Fish today was’Pearl fish’. Not the same texture as cod. Found some Turkish Delight in the back of the fridge - might be several years old but so good!
Processing is so interesting! Like primitive art style -- very cool.

@taffy Thanks Taffy! As you can imagine the foreground was very dark and bringing it up to be able to see it meant lightening the distant scene!

The pink tones sure give this an island feel, to me. Great capture!

@louannwarren Thats a nice idea - maybe a Portuguese Island!

I thought you were in Monte Carlo and it was the pink palace for a moment! Lol! Sounds like the perfect place to sit and people watch!

@onewing You are quite right, Babs, John was reading the local newspaper that another customer wanted to give him (in spite of the fact that we get it delivered free) but he felt he had to read it now. I was watching the tourists pass by!

People watching is a great pastime Maggie ,and having a coffee at the same time is bliss !!

turkish delight? i doubt they go old. i love them. now i wan some.

is the colouring a result of processing or is your camera's white balance gone off? but whatever, it does give a vintage feel. i quite like it. aces!
