This week the photo challenge is all about people and the things they do every day: working, eating, drinking, chatting, dreaming, walking, exercising …This photo was taken in Ottawa, Ontario – originally in colour I converted it to black and white … riding the bus is usually a very black and white, mundane experience … unless one of your fellow passengers is a 6′ 2″ lady carrying a live 6′ Christmas tree and saying ‘scuse me, ‘scuse me, ‘scuse me … true story.
Okay, everyday is truly working, eating, drinking, chatting, dreaming, walking, exercising. But your picture is timeless. Very well done. Nice job.
Oh yeah, my share is about Indonesian traditional cloth : Batik. Hope you have the time to read it.
Thank you so much for your comment, Albadr. I appreciate it.
great shot…lots in there to reflect on.
Thank you for that – it was such a quick shot too.

I can feel the fabric on the seats and love the posture of the old lady!
I hadn’t ridden on the bus for quite a time – I was out and abouting with my daughter and granddaughter and rather enjoyed it – daughter knew where we were going and I just got on and off as instructed.
You have caught the anxious feeling you can get when watching for your stop. Good composition changing it to black and white enhances the mood
Yes, I thought so too – thanks, Pommepal.

Lovely! The light streaming in lifts this from the ordinary! Chuckling at the image of the lady with the Christmas tree….here it would be chickens, or worse, dried fish! Not a true story, but the chances are high
pssst – secret – the lady was my daughter.
