Would have been great to have zoomed in on this shulb with the tee shirt
with the sunglasses hanging off the neck and stubble the hugely inelegant
backpack holding the brochure with the English Billingham bag gentleman  on
the front which you can in this shot just make out.
Just sayin...

Camera people as such shulbs! Not that I look all that great myself.
