Outside the courthouse

When I first showed this one to a third party, the immediate reaction was, "Oh oh, looks like he's in a heap of trouble." The blocky cement benches outside the courthouse probably intensify that feeling too: they suggest seating that might be provided by the state in a solitary confinement cell. (This, of course, is attributable to the Bauhaus School of architectural design.)

Appearances are deceiving, yet again -- even when the image of "reality" is provided by the camera's "objective" eye. This man was actually studying his cellphone after making a call.
