A typical "sampaguita" ( a local flower ) vendor seen outside Quiapo church.
and why the gloomy face I wonder?
Is it perhaps, there's no sale in the last few hours?
or perhaps she's listening intently in her mp3.
or just plain bored as she wanders her eyes on the things she see.
also, I think she's not handicapped, she's using the wheelchair as a seat. ^0^
oh well, life has its strange stories.
Bonjour! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment today. I can't believe you are based in Manilla. I am in the Pacific Northwest. Imagine that. Two different planets! Great picture by the way. I am glad you mentioned the woman did not really need the wheel chair. She seems to be into people watching (I am too.) Maybe it is just a "slow" time of day and there is not much to look at? A bientôt. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting image Arabesque. So many things to look at in the image.
ReplyDeletethinking of happier times?
ReplyDeleteSome jobs are more boring than others! :-)
ReplyDeleteShe does look pretty fed up Arabesque. Can't see any flowers she must have sold them all, shouldn't she be smiling??
ReplyDeletea bit of info: sampaguita is known here as arabian jasmine. i bought twice, both times it died. i guess we don't have the proper weather for it thrive.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and very nice blog overall! I am now following :D

Maybe she's thinking of something sad or what to eat at dinner time.
ReplyDeleteLife does seem to weigh heavy on her!
