This shopkeeper selling spices, had to take a lunch/prayer break, and used his old bike as a door. while he went for his prayers and lunch.

This is a really neat pic. I love the tone of it. TheCrazyCroat · 2008-06-25: 19:39

the perspective, tone of the pic and the story behind it are great. was it taken in Damascus? that must be a very safe place.. smilingranbow · 2008-06-26: 14:00

excellent composition and colour!!!!!!!!! vterezia · 2008-06-26: 15:57

What a practical idea... It must have been made somewhere in north Africa. I`ve lived in Egypt for a while and seen similar hilarious sceneries. This is really a great catch with lovely brownish tones wich gives a "rosty" effect. Very good! longimanus · 2008-06-26: 16:53

to my fav :) ypslon · 2008-06-26: 19:40

The good old times, Roger, when you trusted everyone enough to use an old bike to signify that you were on your break. Don't think you can do that just about anywhere nowadays, though. Lovely personification of trust. Many thanks for sharing, and best regards. meiling · 2008-06-27: 07:57
