A Man and His Cigarette

A man contemplates his cigarette while sitting on the steps of a building. He's wearing a woolly hat and a scarf as it's late December in Malaga.

During a walk through the bustling streets of Malaga, I happened upon a man who was seated upon the steps of a nearby building. As I approached him, I observed that he appeared to be deep in thought, his gaze fixed upon the cigarette he was smoking. Despite the cool temperature, he seemed content and at ease, bundled up in a cosy woolly hat and scarf. Notably, he wore a vibrant red watch on his wrist, adding a pop of colour to his otherwise understated attire.

Palm trees in the sunset

Palm trees silhouetted by a sky coloured by a sun that has already set. Loading cranes and buildings can be seen in the background.

In this scene, a serene moment is captured as palm trees are silhouetted against the stunning orange and pink hues of a setting sun. The warm glow of the sky sets a peaceful and calming mood, contrasting against the harshness of the container ship in the distance. The ship is barely visible, with only the skeletal cranes visible above it in the silhouette. It appears to be in the process of loading, a task that will go on, even though it’s late.
