The Working Lunch

Back on the street today. Weather dry and sunny but decidely cold. These months are notorious for bringing you long shadows as evident in this Blip. The Sun was so low that the flair was nothing but problematic, It also meant that I could only reasonably photograph going one way down the street. This street is on a hill and even using my palm as a makeshift lens hood could not prevent the Sun's rays directly entering the lens. Facing the other way was a no-no, and I got the failures to prove it!.
Did manage to buy the Wife's Christmas present, which was about four weeks earlier than my normal time-that is what Christmas Eve was designed for, wasn't it?
