The Mayor of Windorah

Day 23 - Windorah, Channel Country, SWQ

Apparently this old guy spends all day, every day sitting outside his house here in the middle of town watching the comings and goings of Windorah. And apparently you get the short shift if a stranger tries to engage him in conversation.

He was certainly giving me the death stare while I was taking his photo

What a life. He seems to have all the comforts he needs, chairs on all sides that can follow the shade, communication tower, electricity and a stretcher to catch the afternoon shade and a lounge for relaxing roadside. Amazing.

[Sam]

Grumpy bastard!!

[julia]

Well I guess it doesn't take him long to do his house work...

[Denise Wood]

Thought he was going to be a friendly guy with all the extra seats :) Fav for the isolation!!

[sally agnew]

It would be mighty hot is summer :)

[Denis]

I wonder if he uses the trampoline. Great capture Poppo.

[Connie Little]

You would think that someone who likes to sit outside and watch people would be happy to indulge in a conversation, even with strangers.

[Lee]

That surly can't be a house, It looks like a tin shed. You've taken a great shot of it. The fella, probably best just to leave him to it.

[Jane Anderson]

Big fish in a little pond, apparently!

[Merrelyn]

It's probably at lot more pleasant outside. That little house would be like an oven in Summer.

[Taffy]

Looks like an ominous scene from a classic western movie.

[Suzanne]

He's maybe on guard in case the scrap men come and nick it

[Rachel]

Well, there probably isn't much else to do around there :)

[Tony]

Nicely captured. In some ways an idyllic existence.

[Sharon]

He is probably happier with his lot than most of us. Great capture.

[M. Brutus]

Really like the photo. He was probably inviting you to sit in the strangers' chairs on the side of the house.
