Waiting for conversation

I found a couple of images I hadn't yet posted; maybe I can hold out until we go to the camel souk on Saturday, weather permitting ;-). This was taken in front of a new house in the DQ, but obviously a resident prefers to be out on the street visiting with friends to being secluded behind a high wall.

Clever caption. I wouldn't have known this was outside if you'd not said. A really intriguing image. Waiting for something or someone (but possibly not Godot!). V

Great tittle for this nicely composed shot. V

A well composed image and it conveys the general emptiness of the area. V.

You have a good eye Helen, the different styles strike, so does the lighting. V

This is funny. And an odd collection of chairs. I look forward to a picture of your new camel you are going to buy...

Stephanie		21-Nov-2013 20:17
Looks like a lonely conversation to me! V

beautiful light and almost monochrome tones, I love the composition, too! V

Mairéad		21-Nov-2013 18:13
An unusual collection of furniture, as you say, just waiting for people to sit on them. Well spotted and nice light. V

Great find, Helen. I like that warm light and long shadows. I hope you'll be able to photograph at the camel souk. V

Martin Lamoon		21-Nov-2013 15:19
Think it needs a coat of paint! V

Jim Coffman		21-Nov-2013 13:33

That´s really an interesting chair.V

Chris Morton		21-Nov-2013 08:00
slightly reassuring to see some damp plaster amid all that machine cut stone

Gill Kopy		21-Nov-2013 06:38
Love your title ! Hard to imagine who would sit in such a strange group of seats. V

Barry S Moore		21-Nov-2013 06:31
That's an interesting chair, without any back that is.
