Description
Saturday the sky was gray, postable photo opportunities seemed few and suddenly this old gent was sitting within range.
Since children and older people are almost always good targets, I couldn't resist.
There are huge grain silos nearby...think he works there.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments and favorites.
Bill:)

Interesting shot!
superb and sad!!!
Brilliant catch!
Cool capture!!
superb capture!!!
Super capture.....
Aye-yah, lunch.
Theres nothing sad about this................he's probably just on his lunch break from a job he could well love. A good friend of mine works all day in a factory and he honestly wouldn't want it any other way! A hard days work is good for the mind and soul...not to mention a person's self esteem. Good luck to him!
Wonderful image dear Bill! What a wonderful subject - well seen and captured my friend! :)
Nice candid Bill, looks like he works hard too!!!
Great shot. Taco - Lunch Break - Solitude. Not bad at all.
Did you bring us back any??? are you still there I know of a great little diner in Chicago.
Great capture of this craftsman on his midday break!
Candid camera moment.Well spotted and superbly taken.Perfect for one of those 'make your own caption' competitions.
I think he works hard & he certainly has a good lunch to set him on for the afternoon. His boots look old but maybe they are comfy, & he doesn't want to part with them.
Excellent human interest capture. I agree with 'blinkings'. A hard working fellow on his lunch break. Reminds me of my husband who wears bib overalls and works hard every day.
excellent shot! i don't find it particularly sad, he's probably enjoyng his lunch and a moment of rest. I adore street shots, and it's true that children and old people are easy targets, but nowadays one has to be careful with children, and above all angry parents!
A most fortuitous capture, Bill! Every so often I see individuals similar to this one out on the streets of my town, in various degrees of dress and personal hygiene. They appear to be homeless. It looks like this gentleman would need a comb to clean the taco crumbs from his beard after his repast.
Reminds of Norman Rockwell....very sweet!!
Lovely, and I think he is going to enjoy his lunch.
I wonder how often he sits just there, enjoying his lunch, taking a break from work. Does his heart lift when he sees it will be warm enough to eat outdoors, or is it just a habit? Are tacos a treat, or his daily fare? You've sucked me in, my friend. Now my mind is going a mile a minute!
Great shot Bill
Good shot Bill, the old are great to photograph. they can't run away!
It's ZZ Top guy! And the other ZZ Top guy, was driving the miniature train! Well caught Bill. I missed this one. Rob.
The one thing I love about people who are into photography is that they see meaning and beauty in the simplest of things...here I see a man who is a very hard worker at whatever his job is...taking his lunch break to get some nourishment and then return to his job...and at the end of the day I see him returning home to a wife of many years who has a warm dinner waiting....
