Hi Vasilis,
A very funny face. The donkey is a very popular animal in Dobrogea area (the sea-side in Romania). I guess that it's origins came from the strong Greek and Turkish influences.
Nice capture, well seen.
Have a nice Sunday.

Bonjour Vasilis

Cet âne semble te regarder dans les yeux et se demande si il va t'attaquer ou t'ignorer. Le cadrage est excellent et la lumière très belle.

Amicalement

Serge
