Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding - Louis Dobson

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

[Refrain]
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

See, who said chasing seagulls is a waste of time! LOL They brought you to a most beautiful sunset! I was wondering when someone with some big water around would post this song! This fits the lyrics great and what a sunset that is! I could sit there and watch the tides roll in any day of the week!

Thanks Carlos - I actually went for seagulls, but I was humming the song, and I had a telephoto on (something I almost never do) and I suddenly though - why not? Terribly snatched shot - I was running down the docks pulling out the legs on the tripod and shooing people out of the way. I'd have like the sun a fraction higher, but good enough is Good Enough :-)

You really nailed this shot...those reds in the sky are just fantastic, great composition...
