Breakfast Deliveries in Downtown Amman

This is a typical daily scene in Downtown Amman where is delivered & then promptly devoured! The breakfast would have typically have consisted of Fava Beans ("Fool"), Falafel and Hummus with Bread, salad & pickles as accompaniment.

The waiter takes back the empty trays which will doubtless later return full with the shop-owners' lunch in a few hours ;) #streetphotography #jo

The Old Man & his Bread

On a windy autumn day this old Jordanian man made his way slowly up the hill. When he reached the trash cans in the street, he paused and slowly glanced around. He set down his sack and bent down to pick up a plastic bag. The plastic bag contained a few loaves of stale arabic pitta bread. He quickly grasped it and walked away. A few metres away, having noticed that his load was lighter, he remembered his sack and went back to get it as swiftly as his old legs could carry him.

Urban Planning Dingbats

Rant: Dear whoever the fool was who designed the majority of streets in #amman plus the bigger fool who blindly issues building permissions; this is precisely the situation you should have been able to forsee when you allow SIX new buildings to be built simultaneously in the same limited area.

Notice the TWO #cement #trucks blocking the roads whilst the furniture delivery van and the parked residents' cars ensure that the THREE roads remained closed for a few hours.

Sheer genius.  Not.

Barbeque Love

Nothing brings back memories of my childhood as a great barbeque :)

Persistence pays!

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. ~ Calvin Coolidge
