      Cheers. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pair of them.

    This shot is so amazing! Beautiful candid that serves to represent their immersion in their newspapers! Love it! 🙂

      Thanks Bella. They were, totally immersed. Especially nice to see at a time when the death of the newspaper is forever being touted.

    Each one reads the paper stuck to himself. Then the two can go and drink tea together.
    It’s a beautiful picture, but we can not draw that conclusion …))))
