I suspect that the guy is just composing a text and needs to get his head around what he wants to say, so he just rambles on down the lane. I come across the scene and liked his dark outline against the brightness at the end of the tunnel shape. I have another shot of this scene that I took a few seconds later and in it the gentleman and the pigeon reverse profiles! What pigeon? Have a closer look.
I got my first job ever during my summer holidays from secondary school in the Dolphin Inn Hotel. My mother's closest pal & lifelong friend Bridie Gough got me the job!
I worked as a Kitchen porter cleaning pots and pans. The Head chef that summer went to the Isle of White Festival. He brought back stories of Rory Gallagher & Taste and how they stole the show...of Jimmy Hendrix and Bob Dylan too...my first introduction to Rock and Folk music. After Led Zeppelin broke-up Trad and Folk music captured me forever.
