Actually, there are at least 8 layers of snow on top of the outdoor outhouse.
Inside it's very basic, not even electric light, so to go and to have some light, .... you get the picture.
Food for the Sould keertan last friday at Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar. Lots of youth showed up. Packed the darbar hall. A great event.
Actually, it isn't ice cream but Italian-type gelato, sold by many shops in Cartagena. Some of the flavor names are different in Spanish!
One of many scenes we saw by wandering around the historic center of Cartagena, Colombia. January 2016
Actually, it's the prickly pear's turn to flower in the Sonoran Desert, and these blossoms dominate the cactus. Seen in Saguaro National Park.

Gary actually approached me. I was watching some folks hulu hoop at a street festival and he sidled up to me. Real character. Tall too. Like 6' 6". He started talking about hulu hoops and asked where I was from. I said California originally and he said he was actually from San Francisco. During this conversation, I noticed he had two arms full of random stuff: packages of markers, bags of ballpoint pens, a stack of Subway menus, mini-shoe shine kits, etc. He gave me some pens.
Gary then proceeded to tell me he was doing some work for a children's charity, and then he said he was living strong with HIV going on 21 years. All the while, he kept giving me stuff. At this point I asked to take his picture and he obliged.
Then, inevitably, he told me that most people make a donation...for the kids, of course. I gave him a dollar. He said 7 or 8 was standard for the random stuff he gave me and that he could make change for big bills. I fished out another dollar and said I was tapped out. He pointed to the ATM and said I could get more. Instead, I gave back everything but the pack of pens. He seemed to acquiese but before I could find out if he was done shaking me down, I bid him good day.
I gotta say, Gary is a clever fellow. I have to doubt the veracity of anything he said (SF, HIV, the kids, etc.) But, rather than asking for money outright, he chatted me up, tried to make himself seem familiar (SF), told me he was helping kids, told me a sob story (HIV), and gave me (what appeared initially to be) gifts. By the time he got around to asking me for money, there was all sorts of reasons why it felt hard to say no. A smart and charming panhandler. Gotta respect the hustle.
This is the third picture in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
Naming no names but I know somebody who thought he had a broken spongebob because it had no legs. Not realising he wasn't supposed to have any legs since he was actually one of those pencil-top toys...
Actually the photo was taken during the ascent to the Türnitzer Höger, 1,372 m., in Türnitz, Lower Austria, AT.
Actually, he's not playing craps, nor does he need new shoes. But it sure looks like I could drop him right into a back alley dice game, doesn't it? (Well, maybe not in those threads. A front alley dice game, then.)
Actually, it was taken at a father-daughter dance for my daughter's Brownie troop, but you get the idea...
