Chance encounter

Met these two gentlemen quite by accident in a small, old, historic town in Central Florida (Micanopy). The man in the foreground, an octagenarian and Florida native, was looking for a long lost friend and asked me for directions. As a visitor and stranger to the area where we met, I was unable to assist him but struck up a conversation and then asked if I could take a photo of his interesting and great face..Obviously he consented. We all shared a laugh, a handshake, and they went their way. Thank you kind strangers..
