Your photo essays are absolutely magic with great photo essays complete with storytelling captions!!! Honestly if I were much younger and could still hop about the world on my assignments as I could once do. You would've motivated me to visit your parts of the world as you beautifully illustrate time after time. Yes we on the LUG are gifted by wonderful photographers daily. A motivating crew of single photo shooters leave me and many others in awe with their brilliance of vision and capturing the moment. Your gift to us all, are the " photo essays" you produce time after time year after year! Thankyou, Gracious, Merci, Dachshund!

But on Fridays we often have pizza instead, from a nice little pizzeria just 100 m down the street. I usually walk down there, order my pizzas and have a beer while I wait. And so it was last night. Except that something nice happened while I was waiting. Two older men came up to the counter to pay their bill (this is often done in less formal restaurants here, rather than paying at the table): https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-DHb396R/A As sometimes happens as well, they were given a chupito. They posed with the bottle: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-fL3KgXN/A And then one of them picked up a tray to use as a drum and they began to sing some traditional song (I did not listen for the lyrics): https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-7Fw8tfn/A The pizza lady certainly appreciated it: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-GqxHfCR/A And they were happy to be photographed: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-DV3hQL7/A The song finished and the chupitos drunk, they left. I got our two pizzas and walked home with these images in my mind and in my camera (the little Ricoh GR in my pocket in this case). At home, we ate the pizza, I drank some beer for the first time since Sunday and watched Liverpool beat Wolverhampton 2-0 to remain unbeaten in the Premier League. An excellent Friday evening, all around.
