Ah, a favourite time of the day (for everybody, unfortunately! :) lol) Wonderful capture of this street scene (and hour!) :)

@Rebecca: Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
@Jason Kravitz: There was a street fair further down the road which wasn't indicated ;-), so lots of people had to find their way back to circumvent it :-)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Wow! great shot Markus! I love the church, where is this one taken?

There is much local colour and character in this image - a street moment memorably frozen.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Can just about hear the old bell tolling; tea time is so civilized but alas, we haven't figured out the value of that over here, or of the early afternoon siesta. Very nice image, my friend.

@Viewfinder: It's a very nice tradition to switch off from a days work or having a break, it gives new energy. Many thanks for the cordial response!
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
I like how there are so many cars yet so few pedestrians - truly a rush hour snapshot :) (Although I do see some walkers around the corner)

@Ken McCoy: Thanks, it was nice to have a break to get away from all this traffic :-)
@Erik: Indeed :-)
Dank je wel!
Lucca from Cologne, Germany
Looks like a nice place to live. Trinkt tatsächlich fast jeder in UK Tee um 5 Uhr?
