    Wow. That sure is a sad line of faces. I wonder how they looked before drinking! 😮

      I don’t know, but It’s hard to imagine them looking any more miserable!

    Awesome! I really like the couple (I think) at the end of the bar. Great photo.

      Thanks. Yes, me too. A nice lucky bonus as they weren’t my focus, but in many ways they make the picture.

    Great photograph. A slightly different atmosphere to this one. They all look very tired mentally and physically.
    However, my mischievous mind has the bar being a riotous party until their spotter shouted “Lee’s coming”, whereupon they removed hats cleared away the party popper detritus and adopted dull expressions. The grill guy still has his hat on but hid, and the woman almost missed a bit of streamer but just grabbed it and put her hand to her face as you appeared.
    Did you by any chance hear laughter and party sounds as you walked away 🙂

      Haha, that genuinely made me chuckle. Oh if that really was the case, but nah, no laughter as I walked away. Well, no more laughter at the comedy foreigner with a camera than usual!
