On today’s entry:

El Barrendero Exótico – The Exotic Street Sweeper.
It is a strange thing – the longer you get from home the more exotic everything become, even the street sweeper…, like this one – who we came across in Mexico City. We found his intense eyes, the hat and the matching color on his trousers and bins worth a shot. And he did a great job – cleaning up the mess after over 18 million people. In one of the largest city in the world – not an easy question to answer, it depend on what your are counting, when it come to people Mexico City, or El D.F. (Distrito Federal) as it is know as in Mexico, rank as the third largest city in the world – after Tokyo (Japan) and Seoul (South Korea).
Photo is processed in Topaz for that extra ” wrinkly – gritty look”.

El Barrendero Exótico – Den Eksotiske Gatefeieren.
Det er en pussig ting – jo lenger du kommer hjemmefra jo mere eksotisk blir alt, til og med gatefeierne….., som denne vi traff i Mexico City. Vi ble fascinert av de intense øynene hans, hatten og den matchende fargen på buksene og søppelcontainerne og fant at han var verd et bilde. Og han gjorde en god jobb – renset gatene etter drøyt 18 millioner mennesker. I en av verdens største byer – ikke et enkelt spørsmål, det kommer jo ann på hva du teller, men når et kommer til mennesker rangeres Mexico City, eller El D.F. (Distrito Federal) som den omtales som i Mexico, som verdens tredje største by – etter Tokyo i Japan og Seoul i Sør Korea.
Bildet er behandlet i Topaz for den ekstra “skrukkete- røffe” look’en.
