I'm sad

Because this guy was wiping tears from his eyes as I watched from across the road! I took photos of cathedrals and Town Halls, statues and butterflies but this shot took my heart!

Three good things:
1 great day in the Museum - Bikes and butterflies!
2. Too many photo opportunities!
3. I love travelling locally!

Oh,that's really sad. Poor guy. Great capture.

[KWind]

Oh no...poor guy!

[kali]

oh I feel a little nosy, but you have to wonder what his story was.

[Maggiemae]

@kali66 I'm afraid I didn't have the nerve to go across the road! I would have liked to sit there and just say " do you want to talk?"

[Yao RL]

Or just give him a hug!

[Claire]

Oh bless, heartbreaking. You captured the emotion well

[Sheila]

That is heartbreaking.

[Jan K]

This is very sad - I wonder what happened that he was so upset. You did capture his emotion well. Poor fella.

[Jacqui Paterson]

Very sad. Wonder what his story is...

[Nicole]

you've captured him really wel!!

[Andrea]

Oh no, makes me sad too. Bless him

[Carole Imes]

Oh, poor chap. How sad, but you captured him well. It's not often you see a man cry. He probably recently lost a loved one.

[Peggy Sirk]

Oh, poor guy...he looks so lost and alone on that bench with his heartache. If anyone ever needed a hug, I think this fellow is a candidate. I can only hope that today finds him in a happier state of being. A very poignant capture, Maggie.

[Jo]

I just want to give him a hug I hate seeing sad people. I hope things improved for him.

[richard saffold]

the woman off in the shadow adds some mystery to this.

[Kerri]

That is sad. Powerful shot

[Gena Pegg]

Ohhhh...the sense of loneliness and/or loss is so strong here! Perhaps he will feel the enery of empatjy 'round the world! Wonderful and powerful shot!

[❀ Lynn]

Well captured....I hope he found someone to give him a hug and support.

[Jo]

Oh dear how sad, loos like you weren't the only one watching him.

[Glendq]

it is hard to watch another person suffering with tears and not know why.
ths happened in an airport one day and before I could think of what was best to do another person asked her what was wrong and gave her kleenex's. glad you had a very good day.

[Rick Schies]

Going through one of life's difficult times

[Mickey Anderson]

wow, so sad, but makes for a great moving photo!

[Linda]

Aah, isn't that sad. He looks so lonely and dejected on that bench. Life can be a so tough sometimes.

[Pat Knowles]

Oh poor man, the lady at the side is dying to go & see if he is OK I bet too.....this looks like it could be a station of some sorts, perhaps he has had to say goodbye?
This is a much more poignant photo than a building !!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Oh how sad :o( xx

[Maggiemae]

@happypat it's just a pavement seat overlooking the town square, Pat! Actually not a Square but the Octagon!

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh dear - bless!

[Marloes]

Well seen and great capture!

[Phil Howcroft]

a nice candid maggie...perhaps he may just have had something stuck in his eye

[Emma Durnford]

He looks so lonely, I feel really sorry for him :-(

[Taffy]

Very well spotted and captured. His posture conveys sadness.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Dramatic shot. You captured his sadness well. My heart goes out for him.

[Chris]

Maybe he had just watched the English batting collapse?

[Stephanie Swift]

I feel so sorry for this young man; your picture of hum touches the heart.

[Maggiemae]

@gooner46 ha ha! Or lost to the All Blacks!

[summerfield]

he does look forlorn. maybe his girlfriend broke off with him; maybe someone died.

[Darlene]

How sad. It is hard to see someone upset like this. Nice shot, Maggiemae.

[Maggiemae]

@summerfield I would say, partner or girlfriend had said, 'no way, Hose'! Of course I don't know - it's just he didn't hide it!

[Gail]

What a stirring image. Even before I read what you'd written, I could see the sadness in the image. Wonder what his story is?

[Gillian]

Oh, so sad. You've caught the mood perfectly.

[Angela Tavan]

He does look rather pathetically sad and you've captured that well. Mind you, he could be just feeling sorry for himself too! Then again, he could have suffered a major loss!

[Chatreya (Cat)]

May his bad days dissolve behind him.

[Michelle]

Awwww so sad :(

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is sad! I wonder what sorrow has overcome him? And then, my nature being what it is, I wish I could help. Great street shot.

[Corinne]

great shot....you should have hug him ;)
