Keeping Watch

A lifeguard watches over surfers and swimmers as the sun sinks into the Pacific. These folks do a tough job exceptionally well, making several life saving rescues each year on the busy San Diego beaches.

A wonderful evening image! So true, we probably don't give our local governmental field personal enough credit for the work and responsibility they have.

respect and gratitude are certainly due the lifeguards...seeing so many people in the water definitely fills out the narrative..

a great job they do and sometimes is not truly recognised.V

Dan's thought was mine also. I imagine there are more than the usual rescues with skate boarders. The somber look of the image is certainly fitting here. "VV"

I can only imagine the stressful situations they encounter. Terrific capture.

I bet they do. I did not realize they patrolled in trucks. I always thought each beach had a number of life guard perches that they watched from. Excellent capture as always Nick. ~V~
