DEK Photography: The Man Beneath the CloudssteemCreated with Sketch.

I had just finished taking some shots of the Black Sea coast and I noticed this fellow approach the stone stairs, looking down at his feet and walking slowly. At times he would raise his head, look around, as if remembering where he is headed, and after a silent sigh, he would turn his eyes down again.

He then sat on top of the stairs.

His sadness was even stronger than the happiness he could've gotten from watching this scenery

He's often there - I think he walks around this garden to improve his mood, as do many others.
