Quiet afternoon

The tide was well out when I took this picture on a hot, quiet

afternoon last week. I had been working in the garden when P, D and

their friend floated into view. They were taking pictures on the

water which was as still as it gets. We chatted for five minutes. I

had my camera handy too so I took their picture. Then they carried on.



I use the rope (on the left) to get down to and back up from the

beach. There are good rocks down there that I carry up to use in the

garden. It's a drop of about ten metres (30 feet).



The old people talk about the fish factory that used to be in this

little cove about sixty years ago. If you look closely here you can

see some of the concrete and wooden piers that held it up.



The picture was taken with the Olympus E-P2 and the pancake-like 9mm

f/8 fisheye lens.
