Banana tree leaf vendor. He supplies to many places & is involved in this trade since he was young. The daily routine. I was taken aback seeing his technique and balance !

He was barefooted. Shoe is a luxury to him, as he may only be earning that much with which he can manage the bare minimum. Motor bike is a necessity for him in this trade, that is why he is having one. How much someone can earn by selling banana tree leaves, and that too which do not fetch a good price? At least he has a noble profession, whatever small it may be !

Still some fruit hanging round on the brambles and she was happily munching away
Came across this gentleman while exploring the fringes of a local county fair. He was seated all alone in a little shack. I introduced myself and struck up a conversation. He told me he was the public address announcer for the fair, and as if to prove it he lifted his microphone and spoke into it. Suddenly I heard his voice booming out over the fairgrounds. It was a moment of disconnect for me; he was quite soft spoken when we conversed, to the point where I could barely hear him. But when the mic clicked on his voice echoed mightily. Put me in mind of the Wizard of Oz film when the bellowing wizard is revealed as a mild-mannered mortal. He told me he was a Viet Nam veteran, and had been doing this work for 43 consecutive years. I asked if he would pose for a portrait. He agreed but insisted on tidying up his booth beforehand (as if that would in any way brighten the rather dreary, shop-worn atmosphere of the booth). I watched as he arranged the papers on his desk and disposed of a coffee cup. I took a couple of straight on views but they didn't seem to work. I asked him to speak into the mic and his gaze shifted as he did so. That was the money shot.

Gull in Whitby
UPDATE MAY 2011 - #37 on Explore for 25.05.2011 - thank you very much everybody! :-)
Had a visit to Whitby few weeks ago, I forgot how nice this place is having not been there in a while but plan to have a revisit to get a photo of the harbour and pier hopefully when it s a bit quieter.
Anyway, whilst walking back off the pier noticed this chap just sitting on the wall. He was sitting there quite nicely and some nice person decided to give him their left over chips, he looked at them and just turned his nose up at it which I thought is very unusual, maybe the Gulls in Whitby must be well fed. Anyway, the Gull you see in the background flying away was sitting with him and then just flew off which he didn't seem happy about and then promptly started squawking and this photo was the result, he was almost playing up to the camera :-)
Hope everyone's week is going well.

Information
Gulls (often informally called seagulls) are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until recently most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Gull species range in size from the Little Gull, at 120 g (4.2 oz) and 29 cm (11.5 inches), to the Great Black-backed Gull, at 1.75 kg (3.8 lbs) and 76 cm (30 inches).

Thank you everyone.
At The Philadelphia International Flower Show.
Please check out my set for the show.
This shot (as all of my Flower Show shots) was indeed taken on Fat Tuesday. This is such a festive looking image that I decided to name it in honor of the holiday. I also celebrated by having some amazing gumbo at the Reading Terminal Market, YUM!

Today I explored some parts of Zagreb, it finally didn't rain. I found a different world when I went through an hidden door.
Here is my third and final entry to the tips and bricks contest, a microscale build of set 497 Galaxy Explorer. I made sure to include every detail, from the ship to the base and satellite, to even the small rover. It does fit inside the 20x20x20 requirement, and I made sure that the ship does not extend past the base, which is 20 studs long. This was also my first attempt using a new editing software called gimp.
Thanks for checking it out!
