I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind because his expression is so intense. It's a sad photo, but beautiful in it's way. I liked the poem, too; it helped me hear the sounds of that city even though I've never been there.

Well this truly is a lovely poem,... Yo...Hi Aysegul<br />Well this truly is a lovely poem,... You can feel how much the poet loves his city.. and a reflection on opposites..he seems to love and appreciate both what is beautiful and what may seem annoying but is part of this city he loves. Also the new ways and the ways of old. Which is exactly what this photo shows with this man in his grey suit and worried expression sitting amongst the younger crowd with their happy smiley faces and colourful attire. [well I think I imagine the smiley faces but the feeling is there]...<br /><br />Lovely!!! xx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043911034982163516.post-49958534201165373672010-01-07T17:03:10.562-08:002010-01-07T17:03:10.562-08:00An amazing pairing of prose and photo.

I do take the time here in the country - but there is always so much to do in the city that I don't think to stop, pay attention and just listen.
