He is a well-known figure on the streets of Melbourne, often singing loudly and embracing passersby with his sweat-soaked jumper. He also experiences vivid hallucinations, which he insists others believe.
Another man is also notable, fond of holding a large carrot toy aloft near the entrance of Flinders Street Station.
I ought to publish a series showcasing the renowned characters of the city streets.

ReplyDeleteI just learnt a new phrase!
Delete...a colorful dude.
ReplyDeleteA little frightening
DeleteHe looks like he's having a good time!
ReplyDeleteThat is the whole idea
DeleteFrom what you say, he is one of those "picturesque" characters that everyone knows. In all the big cities we have similar people who make the street their "stage" for acting.
ReplyDeleteThat is the fun of it
DeleteHe looked happy though.
ReplyDeleteThat is the key
DeleteIt would been good to see the other characters on the streets too. There are characters here too! He looks happy, I wonder what his visions are?
ReplyDeleteCant be too bad
DeleteThese colorful characters always seem to be the life and soul of a city.
ReplyDeleteComing alive
DeleteHe looks like a very happy guy though and that's really important.
ReplyDeleteThe motto
DeleteNice
ReplyDeleteHe looks happy in his skin, Roentare. A great shot. I like characters!
ReplyDeleteQuite a happy chap
DeleteSería un trabajo estupendo ese de retratar a los personajes de la ciudad. El de hoy desde luego debe serlo por la "estampa" que tiene y por lo que cuentas.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the world be like without eccentrics? Diversity is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful candid street capture. What is the passers-by reaction to his actions?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! His happiness puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteEccentric
ReplyDeleteIn his world.
ReplyDeletePure bliss! Fantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pic :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great when there are remarkable and sympathetic figures like this in towns and cities. Extravagant, eccentric people who bring a bit of life and joy to the city.
ReplyDeleteSome people live in their own reality which is fine if they don't intrude on other people.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I am not sure I'd like to be embraced by a sweaty man on the street though!
ReplyDeleteUn personaje interesante, pero tampoco me gustaría que me abrazase. Un beso.
