Edi - a grayed alpinist, as he says. I ask him to be my model just in front of my office and after a quick chat he agreed. He turned out to by 90+ years old (my eldest model so far) and on his way to his daughter, who is a pedicurist. He told me, that he has been a member of the Swiss Alpen Clup (SAC) since more the 60 years and liked to meet all kind of people from different backgrounds there.
Seniority hit him suddenly, something broke and now he is not able to walk around two housecorners, after beeing used to run up the highest mountains for decades. Thank you for sharing your time and giving me a small peak into your life, Edi.
And while talking I managed to take 6 pictures, this one beeing showing interest, friedly- and awareness, what I like.

Light: Full sun, cut down with aperture, shutter and ISO, standing in the shade, 430EX with ¼ CTS, 24mm, ETTL trough a white umbrella just left of cam (handheld because of the wind)
Post: Removed Tramwires out of the sky, would like to remove tree behind his head but didn't manage nicely, so I left that.
