Hi Gyorgy,i don't know if in Budapest is normal to walk with a bathtub like a dog,so,for me this isn't a "nothing of special" but a very great shot showing a different watch to this city as i seen in your last post too. Wonderful shot,i add in my prefered! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Gy,
Nothing special? You are kidding.
In the Netherlands we seldom or never see a man walking in the street with a bathtub.
But maybe this and Budapest an every day job. 😉
Excellent observation !
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

Hello György,
I agree. Nothing special. Seeing a man pulling a bathtub down the street happens all the time.
Just kidding. You really have an eye for absurdities, and you time them well. And it's perfect for B&W.
Have a nice Sunday,
Gert

Hello Gyorgy,
A curious photo of this man walking with a bathtub away from the container with all the building waste. Good black and white shot with good sharpness, also of the façade in the background.

Hello Gyorgy,
This makes sense. You never know when you might need a broken bathtub. ;-) I like how he also walked passed a dumpster full of something that's no longer needed. For some reason, I find the whole scene humorous. I hope that poor man doesn't have far to walk with his newly-acquired bathtub. :-)

Hi Gyorgy
Looks like he might have rescued the tub from the skip behind him. A well captured moment.

Hi Gyorgy
Yeah, right... a man walking in broad daylight with a bathtub, as if it were a wheelie suitcase is indeed "nothing special"... ;-)
Seriously though, great street shot, well taken and presented in b&w.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Gy,

Today we are neighbours on TE.
The man found a part of his bathroom !
Maybe has the people Hungary to less bathtubs.
Nice fine picture excellent sharp and clear.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.

Nothing Special!
I just love this!
How often do you witness a man walking down the street with a bath!
What an amazing scenario! Is he taking the bath for a walk! Has he removed it from the skip to use at his home which has no bath! Is he a compulsive bath collector! Is he trying to emulate Monty Python!
The list is endless, but what fun to record!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Gyorgy, Amusing scene with the man taking the bathtub for a walk. :). Looks absurd at first, but on the left is this big container for the rubble, so some renovation works are made there. Excellent observation, superb realization.

Kind regards MAlgo

Hi Gyorgy
Simple but interesting street life going on here; aged building and the rustic wall with character, the fragile old man getting on with his everyday existence attempting to make the old bathtub more dynamic! About as good as it gets for street pictures, well timed image with good storytelling and stark reality. Everything fits together
Best regards

Hello again

Sorry I missed this first time around. A classic observational shot, with quirky humour and an element of sadness. Where's he off to I wonder.

Cheers

Will
