Several years ago, while walking around Philadelphia, I was startled by a man popping out of a hole in the street. It was during the time that Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" was on the run after escaping from prison via a vast tunnel network. The scene seemed unusual and funny as I took his picture and said, "I found El Chapo!" I don't think the man saw the humor but it made me laugh.😀
If you don't remember or haven't heard about it, here's a news article about "El Chapo." Click
Have a great weekend!
Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

En tout cas c'est un sacré portrait. Tu as bien attrapé son regard. la photo est vraiment très réussie.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny but I have to say he doesn't look very impressed.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I linked the wrong post - delete the art galleries one as there's no reflection!
ReplyDeleteIt's a GREAT photo!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the caption for your photo. Yes, I remember this incident well with El Chapo. Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot indeed.
ReplyDeleteEl Chapo 😂 You´re real wiseguy. Thanks for the laughts.
ReplyDeleteGosh I've been so busy that I'm horribly late linking up. But on the bright side, I get to see all these other lovely people who have come by. A very humorous photo and story my friend. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if the Philadelphia flower show will be happening soon. Always a breath of spring after a hard winter. Perhaps you will be able to attend then take some pictures to share with us. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteWOW! James that is an excellent shot although I don't think the man might approve. Thanks for hosting and commenting. Have a good week ahead
ReplyDeleteIt seems funny to me. That’s a great shot though.
ReplyDeleteI missed the linkup this weekend because I had a lot of things to post.
