He's relining the floor seams (with latex) of the empty reflection pool in front of Old Parliament House Canberra (located behind me).

Man at work just under the sun... Nice candid shot!

@Still: Thank you Still. I took a posed shot too, which was ordinary. This one I "stole" when he returned to his work, and I much prefer it. We can tell the time of day from his shadow (about 2.00pm).

It still looks a little 'cool' (the light I mean), is that on purpose? or was it just the way it was? I thought it would be really hot and glarey... I like the pose, and the scale of the pool is great!

@Adiemus: Hi Adiemus, and thanks for the visit. That's the bright harsh light of inland upland Canberra you can see - no editing here. It was 33 degrees, and the air was very very dry (this drought is killing us). The light in Sydney at the coast is totally different because of humidity.
