The Beautiful Lejla

The Beautiful Lejla

The temperature was high yesterday. Nearly 30 C. I was out on a bike ride, and had stopped for a light lunch at Poseidon's square when I noticed this beauty enjoying the sunshine at the stairs to the cultural centre. This is Lejla. She was on her lunch break. She works as a hairdresser at Satch, at the Haninge mall. Lejla lives in Jordbro. She spends a few hours at the gym every week. She's planning for a trip to Mexico. On her free time she enjoys listening to rock and heavy metal music. Which probably was what she was doing when I decided to ask her for a portrait. She asked me how she should pose and I said, just sit there and look good. So that's what she did.

  11. Super hot here today, and plenty of sour air or toxins. People like me are supposed to stay indoors. The sky is blue.

    I have not seen anything to equal your relaxed girl. Nice shot. And she sure looks like she is enjoying the sunshine.

  12. Thanks all. I guess I should say that the first thing I noticed as I entered the square was Lejla's legs!

    After I took some photos, that Lejla had a look at, she had to walk back to the hair saloon. Perhaps not a coincidence but I have photographed another woman that works at the same hair saloon. Samiye.
