Lazing on a sunny afternoon

An appropriate post, not so much because the sun is shining but because it's Ascension Day which is a public holiday here. In colloquial Swedish "Kristi flygare", literally "Christ the flyer", or maybe a more accurate translation would be "Christ the aviator".
I found this shot while thumbing through some old negatives taken about half my lifetime ago although for all I can remember it might just as well have been another lifetime altogether. A lot of technical deficiencies but the atmosphere took hold of me immediately.

????? I like the old grainy quality ... real film? Did you know who the sleeping person was? The truck ... trash collection? ... sleeping person and couch being thrown away. Reminds me to bring out the dead.

revenant Fascinating shot. I'm surprised you didn't include a link to the obvious song by the Kinks, which goes rather well with the shot and must have prompted the title. Click here

????? You were right. What a special atmosphere. Something like a stolen moment of a past laziness in a sunny peaceful afternoon. I love it. Thansk for sharing.
