Gentleman And Good Old Times



Isn´t this combination of colors just tempting?
A Gentleman in red and black, a sign in red and black (and white), red balcony, red car, black tyres, together with that creamy color? Plus the cool blue car behind the man!

What time is it? Does he have a date with a loved one or with staff from the Studio Visage behind him?
The sign sure meets his style, I think.

Lion of the day, another sign I saw in a pub - it lets you know there will be, or rather was a while ago, the 13th innkeeperday Braunschweig 1911 in Thale in Harz-mountains on Hexentanzplatz.
A weird combination to meet on a place where witches (Hexen) ususally dance.



And it seems the exact day and time is not needed as info anymore ;-)

This is for Tom´s "Signs 2".

Das erste Foto ist schön, tolle Farben. Was wollte er bloß? Wir werden es nie wissen! Die Sonne geht hier gerade auf, auch schön! Dir einen wunderbaren Tag, GlG, Valerie

Ella said...

Yes, this combination of colors is very tempting? :)
It is terrible that he wears a ring on the little finger!
That is really not "elegant"!
Thank you for your offer yesterday to buy me that grill! It means a lot to me!
Have a great midweek! Hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

Valerie, ja, wir werden es nie wissen - er hatte sowas "Edles" :-)
Dir auch einen wunderbaren Tag, weh nicht weg! GlG, Iris

Ella, I googled and there it says when a mann wears a ring on his little finger it means he is able to convince others...?
No worries, Ella, I was in the mall anyways and you´re welcome :-)
A great midweek to you, too, Hugs!

Don't you just love it when a composition like this appears in your lens, well spotted Iris super shot 💙 Henry has been around for a very long time oui ✨

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Grace, that was some lucky shot! :-)
Henry was created between 1164 and 1176, he´s some old boy!

Sami said...

All matching in the picture, great timing Iris.
The man looks very elegant, never seen a man wearing a coat in that colour, usually it's navy or black.
The Lion sign is very pretty too.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Sami, perfect situation, I also like the red shoes.

Tom said...

...that's one cool looking dude! A red car is a bit strange, they all seem to be black, white of silver here. The lion sure is the king in your neck of the woods. Thanks Iris for stopping by, make your week special.

Iris Flavia said...

Colored cars are normal here! Red, green, blue, yellow...
So I was really lucky a red one came in!
Thank you, Tom, I´m wishing you a wonderful week, too.

Mae Travels said...

We need color at this time of year!

best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, yes!

Jeanie said...

I love that fellow's coat and hat. He's very dapper. This is the kind of photo that would be a good writing prompt. Waiting for a date? A business appointment? A meet-up with his long-lost daughter? Oh, the possibilities are endless. And the colors are terrific!

Iris Flavia said...

Daughter, yes, that sounds really wonderful, I think I´ll believe in that! :-) And the shoes are red, also :-)

I like the first picture with the inscription visage when it's hard to tell the face of the man looking at his watch.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, it sure was a lucky shot!

William Kendall said...

He's stylish.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes!

R's Rue said...

Love it.

Iris Flavia said...

Timing :-)

Small City Scenes said...

Iris Flavia said...

... and the shoes :-)

Jim said...

I like that mural.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, glad they kept it in a good condition.

Alexandria said...

Wow, what a great shot, love photography when it's a bit mysterious. One of my goals for 2020 is to be able to write interesting short stories, we'll see...There are so many lions in your city with an interesting background. Love reading the history about them.

Anne (cornucopia) said...

That first photo is fantastic. I love the colors and framing of it. Perfection! I like that lion too. Interesting that the history of it involves witches dancing.

And Teddy asked me to ask you to tell Miele bear that he said, "Hi!"

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Alexandria - I am looking forward to your stories, and yes, Henry is our town´s symbol :-)

Taken For Granted said...

That guy has a really stylish hat and coat.

River said...

That is a very nice colour combination, so happy you were there to capture it for us.

Iris Flavia said...

Taken For Granted... and shoes! :-)

River, yes, such luck!

My name is Erika. said...

That is a super photo of the man. The colors are so perfectly balanced and it has a lot of interest. And what an interesting colored coat. I would like one for myself. How about you? Hugs-Erika

Tanya Breese said...

Over here we'd say he's "pimpin" ha he's got that old 70's pimp style! Great catch!

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, yes, and the red shoes, too! I have a red coat, but with white dots :-)
Hugs, Iris
