I've spent many a night alone in a bar somewhere, from Los Angeles to Colombo and Helsinki to Cape Town. I enjoy it. Time to ponder, or to engage in conversation with strangers if the mood takes me. This picture derives from a photograph of an unusual bar in Paphos, Cyprus. Its actually overlooking a live music venue and the bright shaft of light is the sunlight pouring in through a slot in the concrete wall to the left, reflected on the concrete floor. The photograph has, as usual, been heavily modified, including turning the sitting drinker to face the viewer rather than being side on. His featureless face says something about the solitary drinker, sat there alone, lost in thought on a hot afternoon.
