046/365
In trekking out in subzero wind chills for the sake of my 2015 installment of the 365 project, I found myself lacking much inspiration in the quickly dimming light. While the walk around the capital square is part of my usual route, normally the hustle and bustle of Madison takes a break and relaxes on Sundays. Today was quite different, as Madison was hosting it's annual Winter Festival; where they truck in loads of snow and pack it down on the square to create a winter wonderland. Of course, come Sunday night the workers who placed the snow must return the square to it's normal conditions (as snow pack isn't favorable for most cars).
Walking towards me was a gentleman who looked like he had a long day, and in fact I joked with him as he passed "you look like an undertaker." He chuckled and exclaimed "I'm so ready to be done with this, I'm digging my own grave!" Great sense of humor for such a tedious job, at the point I asked if I could take his picture. He asked me for what it was and just as quickly as I was about to answer, he said "sure, why not." Click, click and then he was off back to work. No names, just a fun exchange with a stranger for not only the 365 but also now included as a member of my (608)strangers
Get out and explore your city, you never know who you might find to include in the 100 strangers project. Sometimes more strange then others, but that is what makes it most fun!
