Peter - a photo on Flickriver

Peter

            Walking throughout St James Park with my family on a Saturday afternoon and not really in a street shooting mode but noticed this gentleman with probably the most plastic bags you could hang from a bike and he was sitting peacefully eating an ice cream . I couldn't resist taking a shot but those of you that follow my stream know thats not my style to steal one from afar so I had to get a close up and went over to introduce myself . I asked him could he still ride the bike with so many bags ?  and he told me that it was ok on the flat but hills were a problem . We only chatted for a short while but he had a very calm and gentle way about him and was easy going about me making a photo.
