Behind bars

I'm compelled to explain this picture because it is not what it seems.

1. He is not a juvenile offender who gloomily look through prison bar. He's a jubilant Kid Klick participant.
2. He's not looking out from inside a building. It was the opposite (i.e. he's outside the building)
3. Isn't it ironic to have roof at the corridor but not inside the building

Busking in the Sun

Photo was taken last Saturday, during an outing in Melaka, Malaysia

Everything in the photos explains something about him.
Why don't I just call him a guitarist? Because he didn't just play the guitar. He also sings. Does he gets paid to sing? Not really, but he accepts whatever you put in his guitar case. How long have he been doing this? Judging from his half empty water bottle, most likely since morning. Looking at the shadow directly underneath him, it was already noon. From him baked glistering skin, most likely since a long time. It must be hot to sing underneath the sun, but the little stones on the bank notes show us God have mercy on him and gave wind to cool him. Where is he singing? The slab and wall behind him tell us it's in some old historical site. But not too old that nobody visits it. There's a bit of Malaysian Flag and tourist at the background. It's a tourist spot in Malaysia.
