Upward Facing Dog

Description

Near as I could tell this guy was doing yoga in the pedestrian crosswalk of one of the busiest intersections of Portsmouth, NH, so that another photographer could use him for foreground interest while shooting the steeple of North Church.

What a sight that must have been; doesn't look too comfortable either, the tops of his feet on the rough pavement. Great capture of this unexpected scene! #9654119

I like all the angles here, Nikki, his and the street's. He seems very calm and comfortable in this odd environment for contemplative exercise. #10089102
