Thanks crfrey71 for your feedback. You are right, this is a composite made from two different pictures. Please, read my answer to Robert Spencer’s comment for more information.

Thank eric for your marvellous comment. This time was just my imagination what put together those different scenes.
A well done visual definition of "stranger," Marcelo. A difficult word upon which neither literature nor dictionary agree. A foreigner, an outsider, or perhaps more kindly, a visitor or a guest.
Thinking of Billy Joel's words: "Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself."

Thanks Sonja. I agree with you about the difficulty of defining “stranger”
My intention was not to show “the stranger who lives ‘outside' of his society” but to convey the feeling of a man who is “the stranger within his society”.
