50 Winks



This elderly man was seen taking a nap on a pedestrian crossing next to a busy highway. It was amazing how he managed to sleep despite the terrible noise from six lanes worth of traffic congestion nearby.

There may be occasions when 'life in still mode' is much more pleasing than the 'life in fast forward mode'.

Magnificent picture. As for how remarkable his sleeping may have been despite the noise....you should see me in the middle of the afternoon some time.

I guess it all boils down to what you're accustomed to. Great photo.

Great picture. When you are homeless and tired, you can sleep anywhere.

He sleeps because he is not entangled in the nonsense..

thanks everyone for all the comments. apologies for not replying any earlier.

neo: he looks a little to well dressed to be homeless.

I just hope he's doing okay.

This man look so peaceful. Even though he is napping in the middle of everything, he has such a perfectly content posture and honest expression as only sleep can give you.

A very moving photo. Do you mind if I link to it or post it on my own blog?

G said...

sandie: yes you may link to my post. :)

Hi,

I was searching for blogs that had Videos in them and came across yours. I live in USA and I have a free online video sharing site that you can embed some videos to your blog too. I like the posts on your blog, so I have bookmarked it to stop back by periodically. Take care. Mike

The man that people are joking about is probably homeless and that's probably the only place he could find to sleep.

I feel really sad for him. I guess I have a big heart because I know I can't help everyone and every cause.
