    Interesting that he uses a parasol to protect himself from the sun. It is wise, but I wonder if his buddies make fun of him.

    Haha love to see a man with a 'parasol', very sensible indeed. He's in the right spot to see exactly what's going on, great follow through images VP

    That's a funny sight, the 'ombrelle' I mean. I would hate to be in his shoes, it's too hot!
