One-wheeled biker and homeless man


My camera caught these two in Ocala's downtown square just recently: deep in conversation.

  4. Interesting shot of a daily life scene, though maybe not... Most people would shy away from a homeless person.

  5. @ Halcyon - I've thought about that many times...you could make up many scenarios...but what is their real story? Who are they? They were conversing for a long time; what were they talking about?

  7. This image stirs the imagination, and isn't that what it's all about? I am always amazed when I see someone riding a unicycle. I do well to keep my bicycle upright. It must take talent to ride one of those.

  8. Excellent photo! Thanks for all your comments over at Glasgow DP, sorry I've been out-of-action for a while in terms of catching up with comments. Trying to get through lots tonight on my husband's PC - my laptop is still missing its powerpack sadly.

  14. I would call this scene "Compatibility". I wish philanthropy spreads.

  15. Jacob, here you captured a scene that could have come straight from a movie.
    Mostly man-to-man talks are flash-cooked ;)

  16. @ Juergen - OK, friend, this time you got me: what is "flash-cooked"?
