[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We landed at London Heathrow Airport, two and a half hours late (weather delay out of Washington DC made us miss our plane in Chicago, don't ask why we had to fly west to fly east, it's an airline mystery) and found the express train to Paddington Station. We boarded and found this gentleman, a fellow traveler, who started connecting with his world as soon as we got out of the underground and his blackberry would work. He was totally unaware of the world outside the window, living in cyberspace, connected...

hi,

that's a nice photo. with really interesting note. well done!

regards, pawel

A lively shot, and good observation, Lois. I feel too "connected" sometimes myself. For instance, it's a PERFECT day out there, and what am I doing??? ;) I tell myself it's because of all the pollen...

I like this.
Gayle :)

Hi Lois-great daily life shot that could be anywhere in the world at the airport, doesn't matter the country or the nationality, business travelers busy "re-connecting" before or after their flight- well seen and captured!

Best wishes,
Steve
