"The Man" - Entry to The World of XPILAR - B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #67

When on vacation, we are prone to shoot some picture every tourist makes. Pictures of the buffet, pictures of monuments or archaeological sites. Pictures of marketplaces and people in those places.

If you go on a nature-vacation, you might get to see some birds you'd never see where you come from.

I'm more of a sport/adventure/people-vacation kind of guy. I love scuba diving and diving into different cultures. Not the culture put out for display for tourists to see, but the hidden culture. The obscure musea and mountain vilages. On one of those vacation, I took this shot.*Shot on Canon 400D with 18-55mm kit lens*

It was in the hills of Turkiye I encountered this man, walking downhill with a walking stick. I was most definitely wondering where he was going, since we just came uphill from that direction with a 4X4 and didn't see any signs of civilisation for the last 15-20 minutes. This was by far the only inhabited place in a 10km radius. But he seemed to just go for it, no matter where it lead to.
