Making Provisions For A High-Vis Smile

Today started much the same as yesterday with an early morning run and some pre-breakfast gardening before it got too hot again. 
We couldn't bear being cooped up inside for the rest of the day as the house retains so much heat that if feels like you're slowing roasting in a soft furnishing appointed oven but nor could we face venturing very far as the thought of being in a tin can on wheels for very long as the temperature soared would probably be even worse. Sorry, I can be a bit of a curmudgeon when the temperature rises above 30 degrees C!
Therefore, we decided to take the short hop into town for an early cooling (and it must be said cheap) pint at one of our local 'Spoons and take the chance to try our hand at some more street photography before the heat got too stratospheric.
So pints consumed we headed out onto the 'mean streets' of Maidstone to try to get some images. I must admit I wasn't that struck with what I had managed to capture but just as we were about to return to the car I came across the wonderfully colourful background you can see in today's shot. I'd managed to position myself in a spot between a street planter, the pavement and the two food and drink themed shop fascias (I liked that one is opaque and the other is sharp) and thought I'd wait to see if as an equally colourfully attired passer-by (or passers-by) would stroll into the gap. Very fortunately these two guys in high-vis vests duly obliged!
Initially I was a little annoyed that only part of one of the guys is visible on the far right hand side of the frame but then I wouldn't have had room for that rather strange shadow on the far left hand side (I'm not sure if it's the shadow of our high-vis wearing friend or something else) of the shot and it also made me wander what the other guy had said to his workmate to make him break out into such a broad smile! :-)
