Welcome to Just One Person From Around the World!
I have stopped watching the news….I have dropped all social media, except for my blog, which I try to keep to positive vibes…. there are a lot of folks in the world, who are everyday folks, just trying to provide food and shelter and love……….they are trying to make a living…….keep their kids educated and basically just take care of their families, without an agenda. Me too. I think there is more of us…. Just trying to live our lives….. So, I would like to take the time to focus on one person a week to bring us together, to celebrate ordinary folks.
Feel free to join Just One Person From Around the World by creating your own post and then share your link in the comments. I hope this will bring us all together and reveal how connected we are…………even though we are each in our own little world!
Today we are in Oslo, Norway!
The bright orange-red hat caught my attention first. Then the shoes………and then I was scurrying to try to get in front of this person to get a better photo………but it was not to be…….
I was drawn to the snappy colors from head to toe! (this is a happy person), and then the steady gate and confidence. I pictured an academic of some sort…….notebook and tablet in hand, coming from the university, stopping for coffee on the way home…. or maybe a fashion designer! What do you think? This person definitely put a smile on my face!
I am enjoying pouring over my photos to find us everyday folks! Won’t you join in? To see how all this started look at Just One Person From Around the World!

IJK, are you saying that cameras have preset filters in them to make skin colors lighter automatically because they think most people that buy them are lighter skinned and it is one less adjustment to make? Who would have thought? So do you correct the skin color on all your photos? Is this done on cell phones as well? I have never noticed the difference………Cady
PS this photo from Oslo was taken in August, 2019…..

Its worse than that. If you photograph dark skinned people, the details are smudgy. More so with a smart phone. I do have to try to correct the photo each and every time.

I felt this person is a confident and colourful.
From the appearance ( back side view),I felt the person is trim and never misses the gym schedule.
Back view clicks sometimes confuse me whether the person is a boy or girl.
Lovely street photography my friend.

Ah Ha! You were the first to say anything! My husband and I had a disagreement about this photo as well! I said it was a photo of a man and he said it was a woman….. I said it couldn’t be a woman, where was her purse? A woman most ALWAYS carries a purse of some kind……This person had a cell phone and a computer and notebook tucked under one arm……a man! Who knows!

She has calm written all over her face doesn’t she? I didn’t know what “catchlights in her eyes” were until I looked at the second photo…..very interesting Sue! I am glad you offered us both photos because they show us two different types of photos! Well done! Cady
PS I thought it would have ruined the scene for the photo if I had taken it from the front! They would have been so startled and probably mad as well!

Also a brave one. Anyone who can sport a red hat like that and red trousers has got to be full of confidence and spirit. She’d get my vote any day.

This is such a wonderful idea to connect us in a positive and very real way all around the world.
Reminds me of another jaunty individual I spied on the bus this morning – what initially caught my eye was her glitter-studded mask; followed by her bowler hat (very unusual to see anyone wearing a hat in Singapore), and then her glitzy hi-cut shoes. She, too, made me smile.

Is all that grassy stuff (the grey-brown color to the right) a wall? Are they replacing that with brick? Has Pondicherry retained their French quarter do you think? Thank you for adding this to the challenge this week. I feel like I travel around the world every week now!, don’t you? Cady
