Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night....


"Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night...."   So goes the US Post Office's motto that their couriers will not be deterred by the elements.

The same could be said for some stalwart chess players in Kalemegdan Park.

Snapped this photo of chessmen all set up by a fellow who went off to find something dry to sit on.

A game I've never really played much of.

We don't have such dedicated folks in Ocala, but Miami is full of old Cuban men who sit around in the various parks playing games - not sure what the games are, but probably not chess. Nice shot!

The same can be said for Park Rangers. ;) Yet I don't think I'd be playing chess in the rain. Remarkable capture.

Here in Norway we have MAGNUS CARLSEN who is doing very well playing chess.

I LOVE this image!

YANKEE IN NICE

 Edit: pastis is a licorice-flavored alcoholic drinksimilar to Greek ouzo. My favorite drink as it is for many people in this area. No more ...
