Yeah, he was a trip. I was getting in my car when I noticed him. I actually laughed and quickly said hello and asked for a photograph before he lost the ashes. He loved the attention, and then began to tell me how he cycled through Columbia as a professional photographer. . . smoking of course. Naturally nobody could keep up with him.

Nice find. I probably know what the inside of that box looks like, since I work with vegetable packing equipment. Each electric motor in a big machine is powered through a disconnect switch like those on the wall, and also has a "starter" which is actually an overload to protect the motor.

Been away and did not see this when first posted. Great shot. The flare and the ghosted image work perfectly together.
