Inspiration: We've been enjoying warm sunny days yesterday and today -- a reprieve from the off and on thunderstorms of Thursday and Friday. It's the kind of weather than induces sleep the moment you sit down somewhere, which is probably what happened to the folks in this photo-set. I remain fascinated by public sleepers!
New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: Hmm. He must be dreaming some wonderful dreams.
Inspiration: Partially tucked under an umbrella . . . another napper.

Second is my favorite. It's almost three'o'clock in the morning here. Guess some sleep would be a good idea now. Wonderful images as usual photodiarist. xx

I haven't been here for a while but I love that when I return after long absences, your photos are still as humorous and pleasing as ever. Great series, Photodiarist!

hihi, always a good reminder to not fall asleep in central park, you just might walk by me and take a picture. Lol
Great set of pictures. Really like the second one.
Did you get enough nonpublic sleep this weekend?
Have a great new week,
San

I had a lengthy discussion this morning about the fact that we have forgotten that the world is our home, that theoretically we could go to sleep anywhere, everywhere - just like cats. What great examples that our inner cat/tiger/animal is not dead!

This is what I love about my culture so much.

Something about being in public would stop me sleeping - although I guess it would depend on how tired I was.

Jenny -- I am with you entirely. I've fallen asleep for a few seconds sitting on the subway train heading to work . . . but I could never sleep in a wide open park.
