    I so love how he’s cycling in his Adidas sportswear and smoking! 🙂

      Yes, I like that little detail as well. Fully committed to the look, but clearly not the lifestyle!

    I knew I knew that green awning! But it still took me a few minutes squinting at the angled address plate to see just the “sen” character that helped me narrow it down. And when I did find it there was that Doh! Moment knowing I had walked past it myself on at least two occasions.
    Such a great set of colours, red green and blue. But as ever you have waited for just the right subject to bring something special.

      Didn’t think it’d take long for you to recognise it. The buildings arguably aren’t all that distinctive, but that long, blue roof covered shopping street definitely is.

      Thanks. I was about to give up to be honest, as everyone was either sticking too close to the buildings, or simply weren’t what I was looking for. And then at the last minute, Adidas man rather fortuitously cycled into the frame.
