dining solo

i passed by this guy when i went to the waterfront last week. he's dining solo, far away from the group of young people huddled around a table at the end of the restaurant's patio. i had wanted to take the shot with him facing towards me, but i didn't want to intrude on his privacy and his meal. this vantage point is good enough for me.

a lot of restaurants are still not open. i guess some of them would be closing permanently. i feel sorry for those businesses that didn't survive the lockdown.

Beautifully composed!

Great street scene

Lovely shot and composition. There are almost no open restaurants here, only takeaways allowed. So many have gone bankrupt it is a crying shame.

Is the beaver tail place open???

I'm pleased you respected his privacy, and your vantage point and composition is lovely

Those flowers took me straight back to Canada :)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - yes, they were open, but they have a table by the door where you can order and you can only pay by debit or credit card, no cash. the first thing i did when i got there was to have a beavertail.

Somehow taking his backside accents his solitariness! One wonders how any business is able to survive especially the service businesses

[Kathy]

Nice candid.

Wow... that's an incredible flower basket!

Captures the new reality perfectly.

looks like a lovely and a safe place for a solo dining experience. I hope the restaurant survives.
