@Sarito: Thank you very much, Sarito :-) It certainly seems that way.

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

The happy camper!
Well framed shot where, by getting in close, you enclose the whole of his travelling environment within the frame. Everything is there to tell his story.

@Curly: Thank you, Curly. Getting in close is just one of the many things I have learned from you.

Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom

Nice capture Laurie, suits the monochrome, I wonder how far he's come/going!

@Doug: Thank you, Doug. Actually, he is one of our homeless Veteran's here in Prescott. They gather together every day in the square. I see this fellow frequently.

Jules from Drayton, United Kingdom

@Jules: Thank you Jules. I see him whenever I walk around the square in the center of Prescott - he is one of our homeless veterans. This is actually his traveling home.

Funny - you'd expect to see this guy on a motorcycle instead of a bicycle with his American and POW/MIA flags. Really cool street shot Laurie! You have a good weekend too!

perhaps it is a simply life, to own only such a lot of things which you could carry with you, or isn´t it more difficult, to manage your life with only a few things? i think this question is a philosophically one!
great capture and i like that you choose bw!

Shows that we can live a simpler life.
I know that he might be thinking differently and maybe of a better life for himself.
Great capture.
