Thats a quaint everyday life scene captured with your characteristic eye for detail and brilliance. The mood is cozy...very small townish. Nice composition

Hi Caleb. A simple but great composition. Relaxed mood on the left and the handful of brooms of the sweeper passing by. I fondly remember what Martin Luther King Jr.said to a group of students six months before his assasination. "If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures - sweep streets like Beethoven composed music - sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well......
Thought of sharing with you. Great. Regards & Happy New Year.
