to sleep, perchance to dream

[RBSinTo]

Taken last winter in the Chinatown district here in downtown Toronto.
This is a homeless man I see on the street summer and winter, often sitting in doorways busily writing in a notebook or on empty paper coffee cups.
On this particular day he was asleep, leaning against a bank deposit machine so not to get wet on the slush covered sidewalk.

you might not like it. But I like it. Why does this guy sleep standing up? Does he fear to freeze and die?

Robert, is this the image version you wish to post or is there another?

This is the image I want to keep. I managed to fix the problem by changing the name on the hosting site.
Thanks,
Robert

I've seen and photographed this man a number of times in all seasons. In winter, he'll often sleep on the floor in the vestibules of banks, or in sheltered doorways.
Anywhere to keep from lying in the snow. On this occasion I assume he had no other choice but to sleep standing up, which meant that at least he was dry.
