October 5 2004:
Gone Fishin’

Thought I’d take a short stroll in the village, and on the way back (after visiting the cream cake shop), I noticed this fisherman. I was also quite grateful for a neighbour having a bonfire…

I’m trying to caption my photos this week with a song title; the lyrics haven’t necessarily got to be appropriate to the image. Let’s see how far that gets. This old standard was sung by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby.

My favorite part of this image is the way the house looks through the smoke/mist.. as if suddenly coming upon your home in the fog and feeling that sense of welcome. nice photo,Ray

Graham Whitehead		05-Oct-2004 20:29
Great image, the smoke really makes it for me.

Guest		05-Oct-2004 20:09
Excellent!

Lovely shot, looks more misty than smokey, as if it were very early in the morning.

northstar37		05-Oct-2004 19:04
Smoke On the water maybe?

Cheryl Hawkins		05-Oct-2004 19:03
wonderful!

Carol E Sandgren		05-Oct-2004 18:40
Wow! another beauty, Ray! The mist in silvery tones here really makes the picture! Great choice for black and white too.

Guest		05-Oct-2004 18:27
Damn, this is awesome! Love the foggy mist!! SOOO cool!!! Excellent job!

Guest		05-Oct-2004 17:40
fog and sun : really good work!

Great photo, i never saw the point of fishing until i saw this photo.

René Gysi		05-Oct-2004 16:01
Beautiful b&w picture. Great.

brother_mark		05-Oct-2004 15:50
Great shot. Nice placement of the elements. I thought that was steam/fog coming off the water.

Guest		05-Oct-2004 15:45
So moody! Ray, you happened upon a KILLER scene! Really love this.

Herb		05-Oct-2004 15:39
Great shot

Guest		05-Oct-2004 15:37
Most excellent indeed. The smoke does appear as misty at first like a foggy morning. Then knowing its smoke gives me a down home "dog day" afternoon feeling. I like the shot.

Stu		05-Oct-2004 15:33
Superb, Ray. The mist creates a beautiful crisp atmosphere.

Guest		05-Oct-2004 15:27
There's a lovely languid feel to this. I think the convenient bonfire helps.

Gayle P. Clement		05-Oct-2004 15:26
Beautifully done, Ray. Excellent work.

Gary Blanchette		05-Oct-2004 15:11
Just another image making me want to get away from the daily hustle and bustle I now experience day to day...

Josy's Pics		05-Oct-2004 15:03
Another beautiful picture!

Pall Gudjonsson		05-Oct-2004 14:57
Lovely b&w Ray !

Gone fishin..I do believe Dean Martin sang it as well. Used to sing it quite a bit when I was growing up..although wasnt going fishing. Just a delightful song. Excellent atmospheric shot.
