I bought the local newspaper and a pack of cigarettes there ... and I got the opportunity to take a portrait of a friend that I didn't see a couple of years. He was on a coffee break and looked very cool by his bicycle.

At first sight only. After this shot, I was driving home ... and soon, it started to rain pretty hard.

As always in these walks on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END.
