What is happening in this picture?

I initially thought the same, but the background suggests that it’s an urban scene, and the setting looks like a park. And further, did British gentlemen go hunting in a bowler, smoking a pipe? (Now the lad in the background, he really looks like a hunter)

He looks a lot more like a navvy, or a building labourer, if you ask me, and chummy in the bowler looks very like a works supervisor.

I have a strong suspicion that, whatever it is that these chaps are up to, it doesn’t primarily involve standing in a hole in the ground looking out, and that they’ve been asked to pose like that by the photographer from Picture Post.

It’s like a twist on the John Cleese / Ronnie Barker / Ronnie Corbett class sketch.

I called it the two men (thetwomen) so I could easily find it when uploading it. The original title was something like htytyujdkjkejgtfhkj145563783jhegf672u_n.jpg

Those are women traps. The two men are bait.

I doubt they caught anything that day.

I would guess hunting blinds, but the urban setting throws that off.

“**This IS a Pipe”

But you still can’t pack it and smoke it…

(Because it’s a picture!)

Gosh… I was thinking that’s where old-time porta-potties might have been. What the hell is this picture of!?
