Granddad watching his grandson
Lens: da50 1.8 Camera: k-x Photo Location: Belgium ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/250s Aperture: F4.5

This man's grandson works in the riding stable of my partner, that pays for the maintenance of his horse, his granddad bought him the horse although he doesn't have a lot of money. Here he is watching his grandson riding the horse. Although they have little money they are always kind and cheerfull, I like those people.













Hope you like it,


Igor
