Lunch by the litter bin by phil_howcroft

Lunch by the litter bin

The two middle guys are taking lunch in a warm and humid Arnold...when I say taking lunch, it's nowhere near lunch time, so lets say they are 'snacking' . Not the best of locations to eat , but they seem to be enjoying eating el fresco.

Another attempt at street photography in B/W. I think I have made an average photo sound a bit better than it actually is by utilising the litter bin in the title !
nice little slice of action... looks like you may have been spotted as well

I enjoy your photo titles, Phil. This one gave me a little chuckle. I'm not sure what the dude on the left is doing, though? Maybe he's got an imaginary phone in his hands. I love your slice of life pics - way to go. :)

Awesome

Love this, but don't like the look of the guy in the middle! And the girl...what a mess.....not a good advert for the female dresser!! Not the best place to stand around and eat....well observed Phil.

Neat sneaky shot Phil. Well done.

I always have to magnify your shots Phil as there is always something interesting going on there !! Funny place to eat but there is no accounting for taste !!!! Clever hey!! Seem to be fond of tattoos in your neck of the woods !

Great work! :-) I too have a fascination with people enjoying their food in what occur to me as the most unsavory of situations with litter bins serving as handy tables!!

@Cherrill thanks cherril , it did seem a strange place to eat your takeaway ........maybe they were planning ahead to dispose of the left over bits and packaging !

@swilde thanks sue, your comments are always welcome :)

@happypat ha ha Pat , I like your 'clever pun' on no accounting for taste ...and a good spot regarding the tat's

@whippeteer thanks frances, it seems even stranger too that the top of our litter bins are split into two ...one side for cigarette butts and one side for chewing gum ....nice eh ???

@steveh ha ha indeed steve, lunch on a bin does not seem very appealing ! Yes a BWFC season ticket holder. I left Bolton when I was 21 !!!
August 3rd, 2011  
@tashy thanks tashy, ur right about the reflections , they get a bit lost in the scene !!
August 3rd, 2011  
@phil_howcroft dont blame you ...lol... iam in Westhoughton , 10min drive from the Reebok ...
August 3rd, 2011  
@steveh ha ha steve, it's a long journey for a home match for me , even worse when we lose, i've done a few BWFC shots in my 365 including the debacle that was Wembley versus Stoke !!
August 3rd, 2011  
Geat shot at least they didn't have to go ffar to get rid of the left overs.

@hobgoblinwychwo cheers John, i hope the left overs did make it to the bin !
