Taken in Trinidad, Cuba; it was about midday and it was incredibly hot and humid. Trinidad is on the Caribbean coast (south) of Cuba (the north coast being the Atlantic) and is a beautiful old colonial town, some of which has been done up. Unfortunately it was the most touristy place we came across, full of people selling stuff you really don't want...
Thanks for looking.
Ann

People watching at it's best, Ann. Great timing to get the figure between those shadow lines, and well composed with the pole framing the left and the figure walking into space.... and you probably did all that instinctively.
Dave
Beautifully composed, using the vertical post to contrast with his slumped posture. I think I'd clone away that bit of green foliage peeping through top left, but it's a minor quibble.
I like the fact that this tells a very human story, while remaining anonymous - we have to imagine his face.

I like the collection of shadows here Ann and you have composed it very well 
Helen
Excellent image, fabulous colour and I love the simplicity of the composition.
Hugh
This is a great shot.
First off, a slice of (non-touristy) life from a place. I love candids and this is excellent, Ann.
Second, the light and colour are AWESOME.
And looking at the guy, you've captured the heat of the place too.
Bravo.
Andrew
PS Love the title 
You can feel the heat coming out through this image.. The blue sets of the whole image.. Love it
Another simple slice of Cuban life, the dangling wires from the pole, the drooping shoulders and cycle chain, maybe a loose nut on the handlebars, judging by the foot. You have to wonder what's round the blue corner for this guy?
The tiny number plaque by reason or accident has become something to look for in this lovely quiet series. Well done Ann, good work in the heat of this marvellous place.
Dougie
You can feel the heat in there, even the blue doesn't cool it down.
Excellent comp.
Another excellent travel photograph giving us a slice of Cuban street life
