All kinds of things to wonder about in this scene outside the Salt Spring Market…
Who is this shady character and where’s he going with that baby?
Why is a box labelled ‘California Tomatoes” coming out of the market?
etc.
What are you wondering about this photo?
He reminded me of the Mennonites one sees in parts of Ontario aroubd the Kitchener area. Its the beard and the vest in B&W that did it.
Yes, good observation. I see it now.
I’m not worried that he’s bought or stolen that baby – he’s the dad. Look at their expressions – they’re identical!
I guess they are. Well, not identical, the baby is much smaller.
Small enough to be transported in a box, apparently.
This is just the best photo. It did make me laugh. The expression on that little baby’s face is almost saying, “what do you think you are doing!”. An old soul staring right through the lens.
Thanks for the insightful comment Sibylle. And thanks for coming all the way from the land down under.
