Tea-time, a very important and comforting moment in these countries. But alone in the street i find that very sad. Does the barber has a lot of success in Afghanistan, there is so much bearded men there !! :-))

@Evelyne Dubos: Barbers were once threatened with death if they shaved anyone. Now its a bit better.
I like all that is going on in this photo. The man having his tea, the barber shop, the bicycles, the shovel, the blues repeating, the shadow leading the eye down to the laborer.

Very nice with his eyes directed at us. The Barber is a nice extra touch.

@Michael Rawluk: I always found it puzzling... a barbers sign in English!
