Turning Japanese.

Turning Japanese.

While waiting outside a shop for my wife I was suddenly surrounded by a bus load of Japanese tourists. A very lively bunch they moved around me effortlessly to their next destination. I felt like a diver surrounded by fish.I became so fascinated by standing in the middle of the group that I forgot about my camera for a few moments. I only managed two shots as they moved off. But that little ladies face on the left made this picture for me.
