Yes, the signs were the second thing that caught my eye. Still, with a little imagination, he fell asleep in a beautiful area. At first I thought it was the sea, but I see grass growing, so probably not.

The canteen is a nice touch.

I didn't add the canteen or anything else.. it was all straight from the camera. I had to lighten up the signs due to the shadows in that corner.
The seascape is an artist's work, for what purpose, I have no idea.
My p.p. was done using PSE 12, Topaz and Nik Photo Pro 4.
Thanks for the review!

It's very sad, but beautiful at the same time. Looks like it ought to be in "Life Magazine."

Thank you Jean! I really appreciate your kind response!
All the more reason to never leave home without your camera... the best shots are all to often never taken.

I didn't mean you added the canteen, but it is a nice addition to the scene. You think that's a seascape? I thought so, too, but it looks like grass growing in spots.

That's probably why it's outside and not inside... no one knows what it is.
It could even be mountains, but why blue?
