Parklife: I is for Idling

These old men were indulging in an idle afternoon gossiping. They were very amused by me taking their picture and burst into laughter the minute after this! I can just imagine them going home and telling their family and not being believed though. (There are so few foreigners in this city that sometimes you are the first one that people will have ever seen!)
Or you can idle in Bavarian style in this bar, which is called Soho. It was a very surreal moment when I walked around a corner and saw this huge picture on the side of the building.
Indulge a possibly otherwise irritable child with a fancy windmill.

  1. Old men around here seem to do their gathering and gossiping in a cafe over breakfast. Interesting to see the "old man" gathering place there.
    Beautiful, colorful flower windmills.

  8. How funny! I love the way the men laughed! Perhaps they thought they weren't interesting enough to be photographed!
