Hi John
whats so interesting about this post is how we have these sterotypes of different peoples around the world. Sad but true right?

What do people think of Canadians? Canada is a large country, but for example out in the West Coast, Vancouverites have a reputation of being pot smoking hippie tree huggers hahaha. We are also known for being avid hikers and love exercising outdoors in the wilderness and mountains.

The reputation out east for Newfoundlanders is basically they're simple - even stupid - and dim witted, and all they know is how to fish and get drunk.

oh my...so there's Canada in a quick flash from West to East haha.

as for your photo here, I like that you captured this guy so upclose. I feel as if I'm there right behind him too, perhaps not jogging though haha

his choice of red was perfect for you, and the colours all surrounding him are perfectly autumn. beautiful array of colours! cheers

Hello John,
A great photo of this elderly runner, he must be a wise man taking his health seriously. The surrounding autumn colours are wonderful, it looks like a perfect day for a walk or a run in the woods. The man's bright green, yellow and red clothes add a great colour contrast too. Very well captured!

Hello John,
It's a timely captured snapshot of the jogging elderly man (probably even older then me). You managed excellent sharpness as he was running away from you. The autumn colours surrounding him are certainly very attractive, and although his own colours are much brighter they match the surroundings very nicely. Maybe his clothes signal that he has entered the autumn of his life. If he stays fit he may last well into his winter.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,
All I can say, is I wish I had his physique! His hi-vis jacket and red sleeves make him stand out against the autumn foliage whilst at the same time they sort of complement it. Interesting and well realised composition that nicely blends daily life with nature.

Hi John

Good opportunity, this old (my 70th birthday was the last sunday) is appreciating running in the wild, whatever is the weather (if he waits for the sunshine in Scotland, he would rest many times at home). I like his flashy gear, in acordance with the autumn mood and the mud traces on the bottom of his bare legs, the blurred right foot reinforces the idea of motion
Best regards
