Deep in thought - mind on the job -contemplating his next strategic move. You've captured Monsieur et le cigare well Virginia.
Les boulodromes ne sont pas encore "sans tabac", mais ça viendra bientôt !
I don't think I'd be able to take it seriously enough to play with le monsieur. Wonderful scene, V!
Full concentration...well captured, Virginia :)
Have a lovely week.
xx
OH YES! TRÈS IMPORTANT! TRÈS SERIEUX!!! Anita
Pétanque *everywhere* in France is serious business! Great shot, V!
Alain, je ne pense pas le terrains de pétanque ne sera jamais sans tabac. :)
On dirait Jean Gabin dans "le baron de l'ecluse"! :o)
I agree with Malyss. Very "Jean Gabin"... or he is a sailor who has lost his ship...Either way, great shot Virginia. Bonne journée. -- Veronique
He looks like Rod Steiger ...
I had the same thought as Daryl. (Or maybe Winston Churchill trying not to be recognized.) If the day comes when smoking is interdit sur les boulodromes , monsieur will probably just chew on an unlit cigar while he plays. Great shot, V.
This is a Vivian Maier shot!
He looks like Winston Churchill.
Great picture! I can almost smell that cigar!
I agree with Starman...although he also looks a bit like the Skipper on Gilligan's Island...or maybe even Geo C. Scott!...Janey
I love all your comments. I think I am going to go with a French Rod Steiger, although he does look like Churchill, and after I googled, him Jean Gabin as well.
Kevin, I wish I could come close to a Maier shot! Thank you.
Priceless. You have a wonderful talent taking candid shots. Warm regards.
Tout en concentration... Important la pétanque...
Gros bisous
Nice image, Virginia. I couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Great capture! Very nice choice for B&W!
Thanks for sharing;o)

Have a nice and happy week****
There's quite a story going on here. Love it!
Absolutely perfect capture... even the legs in the right hand corner.
What an interesting character. I want to see more photos of this guy. :)
