Men in the bar on a Sunday afternoon in summer

When I passed by this café, I hopped in and out with my camera, my goal being not to frigthen these men in a row, who seemed quite happy with their beer in the tranquility of the place which, I am guessing, must be a very familiar spot to them. I therefore used no flash and the bar was rather dark. But still I got these guys and, even if the result is rather blurry,  the atmosphere is there and the phenomenon is rather Belgian. Also, I can't help but wonder when scenes like this will be a thing of the past.

    It's a terrific capture, just as it is, and it says it all! Hope you have a great week!

    In my honest opinion I think I would have gone for the delete button here!

    Ask them to pose casually next time.

    Wie bier zegt... zegt ook bruin café, Anni... Helaas..., de muren en bruine plafonds worden straks geschilderd... De stadspolitiek en de wereldproblemen worden er niet meer opgelost... Pfff...
    Lie(f)s.

    One of the "oldies" is checking his mobile phone or I-phone? So he is not complete of an other time.

    I think people are social animals and as such scenes like this will continue in the near future. I am admittedly less sanguine about the far future.

    I hope that they are not ever a thing of the past. I like your capture (stealth is my motto) and the impromptu scene.

    Bises,

    Nice shot, I like the composition... It simply reflects the atmosphere in such 'sunday afternoon pub'. Maybe they are waiting for the start of the game on the television?
