Great shot - young lad peers at older guy who is peering at the Woman - who is probably hoping for her bus to come real soon . .

Lovely and gentle - this has a wonderfully French air to it for me.

Couple and door

Look at you with your colours and textures again . . not only a wonderful backdrop to this couple, but even the pavement is textured !

That door and wall are so photogenic and the very normal looking couple are a great visual counterpoint to it.

Man and dog

Another wonderfully 'Melethial' shot, rich in colour, shape and texture, as an almost rich operatic backdrop to the foreground players, a middle aged man and his small scruffy dog.

But the players are needed to bring the whole scene to life, and bring human element and interest into the wider picture, to bring identifiable almost 'mundane' normality to the richness of the colours and items in the shop windows.

There are only two characters here, one man , one dog, forming an 'odd couple' neither making eye contact with the other - yet clearly together, the dog peering expectantly but patiently at his master waiting for him to make a move of some sort, while his master peers into space, lost in thought . .

All this is perfectly rounded off with a quirky PoV.

This really could only be melethia's work . . and it is a fine example of it.

Very simple powerful image - for me this produces a dichotomy of looking at someone who on the one hand seems so young, but on the other hand almost appears to be outside of time - watching the world turning as the centuries roll by . .
