bare bones

Crescent Beach

in stark contrast to the stylish Encinitas lifeguard tower portrayed by Nick, the one at Crescent Beach is just bare bones functional...anyone on duty here must bake in summer sunshine

sizing up a photo of the minimalist structure is local sharp-shooter Carol How

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/640s f/11.0 at 16.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Ok I admit it is pretty basic, but therein lies its functional appeal. It would be fun to do a project just on the different types of lifeguard towers around the world, but that project is not in my budget, so I'll have to stay with Stickman.

It's functional, it's got that going for it!! I like the composition with the trees and the beach in the background

It seems very rudimentary. It’s nice to see you getting together.

Looks like it would take more than a couple of minutes for the lifeguard to reach the life vest! A nice deserted place to wander!

the composition is very fine, and this beautiful light highlights this slightly bizarre structure! V

The low angle light adds a little life to the skeleton. V

A blue sky! This doesn't happen often, I presume. what an interesting tower!!!

More importantly it serves its life saving purpose...great capture with that warm light..V

Really nice capture there David. V

A big hat and some sunscreen for the lifeguard. Great that you met another Pbase photographer.
Dennis Hoyne03-Jun-2020 02:03
A very sparse structure alright, at least the lifeguard won't be falling asleep.

Great that you both could meet for what looks like a pleasant afternoon. Yes, the tower is decidedly spartan.

Bare bones is right, but as long as it works. Nice lighting and very nice to see Carol as well.

Yours and Carols ring true
to these times. Glad to hear
that you were able to meet.

Good to see you meeting up. V.

That offers very little protection for the lifeguard on duty here, nice image of it with Carol in view.

Nicely composed. Good to see a couple of photographers getting together.

It is pretty sparse, but hard to imagine anybody baking in the summer sunshine there!
