a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

January 09 - Alone
A photo of a fisherman at Umina beach on the Central Coast of NSW just a couple of weeks ago seems to fit the word for today...
Thanks, he is sitting on the walls of an old sea-pool, so you can see the aggregate blocks on the sand. I liked the contrast of nature and man-made. You can see the people on the beach and the houses across the bay, but he is sitting in his own world, fishing peacefully (apart from me, wandering around on the rock shelves nearby) He was there for a few hours, caught enough for a meal or two and then left as the tide came higher.
For those overseas the placename is pronounced Youmina, and maybe the other fishermen know that that area is fished out, LOL
ReplyDeleteGorgeous peaceful scene.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be alone there any day...I can almost smell the sea air! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll the sea to himself...I like the contrast of the stones against the soft sea.
