photoblog image Siesta

Siesta

Also known as Power Nap. A small nap is often encouraged in China; in fact, several Asians have a practice of taking a short slumber after lunch when the sun is supposed to be directly overhead. 

 

A person in uniform engaging in some quickly snatched siesta always makes for an amusing subject. Also an opportunity to stretch the muscles of the 200mm zoom lens.

Ayush Basu: Indeed...
Gorgeous colours, Ayush!
Glad to hear you made this capture with your zoom lens; wouldn't have been good if he had woken up and had caught you in the act, hahah.
Ayush Basu: Yep, I was in no mood to meet a barrage of Mandarin followed by a fist or two grin
