While visiting the Turkish and Afghani souk area down in Old Jeddah, I captured this quiet old man resting, sitting on a rock. Although weather worn, his clothes are clean and he seems well cared for. In his hand he is holding a few riyals, given to him by passersby.

It's a fine picture. I wish him well.
A touching shot. I do hope he is cared for!
Somehow it's harder to see the elderly begging than the young. A comfortable old age seems only fair after so many years no matter what life has been like before.
He looks very cared for!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
He looks good...but still ....he should be sitting in a tea house with his friends.
