Quite Time

Came across this chap sat on the disused old water pumping station pipes in the middle of nowhere, he had know idea I was there so engrossed in the newspaper, I ask him why he was there, his explanation made me smile, he said his grandchildren where staying at his house all week and it was the only place he could read his paper in peace, lol:)

Great capture BTW Peter

I wonder if he ever went back. You captured his tranquility nicely.

@stray_shooter Thank you Ron, he was very relaxed until I arrived on the scene took the shot, then I slipped away like a thief in the night:)
