nocturnal images Ann at 6:40 a.m.

Every morning at around 6:00 a.m., Ann appears at Third Street

Promenade, Santa Monica. She comes to the same bench everyday. She

parks her cart that carries all her belongings behind the bench and

pulls out a book. Then she takes a seat on the bench and starts to

read under dim light spilling out from nearby show window.

 

While she reads, day breaks and eventually daylight takes over the

place. At this time she gets up from the bench and leaves the

Promenade, pulling her cart again.

 

Ann is a homeless woman living in Santa Monica.

Thank you Ayse for your visit! I hope I could pursue her story further....

A superb picture linked to a moving story. I hope you do get a chance to learn more about her life and routine and history -- and, if she agrees, take more shots. What does she read? That is neither an idle nor humorous question, I promise. Regards...

Thank you Joseph for your visit and kind words! That is exactly what I hope to do....

Very crisp image nicely done. I love the little fairy lights behind her!
