I'm really happy to have received so many comments, and such good votes from the commenters. I'm a bit disappointed in how well this image fared, but what can ya do? Keep shooting, that's what.

Envy. A good book, bare feet, the ocean, and a warm, sunny day. Sounds just about perfect.

I can imagine the cool breeze blowing and listening to the nature of sound. What a nice beautiful place. In my country if I do that, my skin will get burn straight away by the metal frame :)

What an absolutely fabulous place to relax. Give me a couple of cushions and a glass of wine (or two) and leave me there... (remove the old men first please!:) )

the guy is Russian. The place looks like French Riviera... why not? I like the vibe of shot. Amazing how comfortable he evidently is on this little bench :)
