Photographer's Note
I had stopped off at a fast-food restaurant for a quick lunch. Outside the restaurant's food-order-window, a pair of Catholic nuns were waiting to place their orders. The microphone for the attendant to communicate with customers and a computer screen bracket the diptych framing the two nuns. To answer a timely question from Gert Holmertz, altar bread and wine were not on the menu.
I apologize for the poor quality of the photo, but I had access only to my iPhone but at least I was able to capture the unusual scene. But as Stephen Nunney mentions, even nuns need sustenance. My concern here is that they are at the drive-in window where pedestrians are not allowed.

Hello Bülent,
It's an amusing photo. The environment isn't very pretty but the appearance of the nuns looking through these frames was an opportunity not to be missed. I am just surprised that customers inside the restaurant had access to this area. A big question remains: Did the restaurant serve altar bread and wine with the burgers?
(That's low, I know...)
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bulent,
Really well seen, it is a really humorous photo of these two nuns patiently waiting at the order-window. The window makes a great frame for them. Excellent photo.

Olá, Bulent!
Você voltou com uma cena bem curiosa! As expressões das freiras também são bem interessantes. A janela enquadra muito bem as freiras.
Boa foto!

Hello Bulent
This seems to be a picture from the past. I think in my youth, let’s say 55 years ago is should be possible to take a picture like this, but nowadays it is almost impossible to see two nuns like this two. I like your sharp observation and the quality of the picture is alright and certainly better than 55 years ago.

Hello Bulent,
Indeed, a very incongruous scene, but even nuns require sustenance I guess. Well capture amusing daily life scene, technical quality does not really matter here.

A great moment caught, and only after reading the note realized what's all about, Bulent.
maybe bread and wine would now be added to the menu.
A fine swift action on this take.
Best regards,
Ike
*** Knowing that you once visited Ashdod, wondered if you know the place with the ruins of the citadel. Thanks.

Hello Bulent,
This is an amusing scene. I wonder what they ordered. The two women fit perfectly into the double window, and one of them is looking your way. I guess this photo shows us that no matter who you are, we all stop in for fast food every once in a while. :-)
