Ya, often people ruin a photo!! :-) But this old man, sauntering ever so slowly across that road, in no hurry to go anywhere, except step-by-step forwards – he adds a great little "story" to this photo.
I cannot remember if I waited for him, or if he just happened to be there. But I was luck to catch him.
Yes you are quite lucky that he is there! He is the cherry on the pie! :p
