一次很棒的行程!! wahahahhh!! 时间太赶, 大家都辛苦了!

Gold Fishin'! (Golden Fisherman) : ) Hello my friends!!! ...Dedicated to a special friend, included in the text below... Another photo from the beautiful Greek island of Crete : ) I captured this one on an early morning trek out to the beach... and saw no one else except for this lone person fishing (on what looked to be a sea of gold!) This is another photo taken with my older Sony HX60V compact camera, after my newer one had broke a few days before. I remember it was very bright & hard to see through the LCD screen (even though the morning had been hazy) and I had to zoom in to capture this scene... as they were quite far away and I was on another pier. I missed the articulating screen & viewfinder of my HX90V (I have another one now!) but I was still pretty happy with the outcome of this photo : ) (These colors are SOOC) Decided not to crop this one as it portrays the way I remember the moment... a huge, empty morning of golden ocean & sky, solely filled by this lone fisherman on their pier : ) Dedicating this one to my friend Charlotte... charhedman ... who inspired me with her own fisherman photo recently (which included a lovely quote about solitude). Thank you my friend : ) She has a gorgeous photostream, please visit her & say hello while you're there : ) I may be off for the next day or so... but will be back to catch up with everyone soon as I can! Thanks for taking a moment to have a look, appreciate your support so much guys : ) Hope you find something enjoyable or interesting here : ) Have a wonderful new day my friends!

Last photo for a while... (JAWS! + Hazy Sky) Hey guys : ) This will be my last photo for a while... I'll be on & off for the next few weeks (possibly even into the end of next month). I do have plans to log into Flickr & do some catching up though... specifically for this: 1. Catch up with all my friends here! 2. Having a look through my new contacts! 3. Visiting those who have left such wonderful comments recently : ) (( I truly can't wait to visit everyone again in the coming days & weeks... so excited to see what everyone's been up to recently! )) *** My main reason for joining Flickr was simply so I could finally make comments & give respect to all the wonderful photographers (who's works I so often viewed & enjoyed here) *** Once I began uploading pics myself... I found that my time (admiring the works of others) was drastically reduced... and it affected my enjoyment time here, as well as finding new inspiration. So I'm definitely taking some time off from uploading for a while (after this one!) I'll also be away a bit and offline sometime... which will give me the opportunity to go through some of my recent photo shoots & gather some special moments to share with you guys in the future : ) This should turn out to be a positive thing all around : ) Now, regarding the title of this latest pic & how the capture came about: I shot this one on the island of Crete (Greece) very early one morning. I had found a rock pier which extended quite far out into the ocean... but the part of it which connected to the beach was submerged, so I had to wade through a bit of water to make it up on the rocks. Usually not a big deal but a bit more exciting when it's so early in the morning and you're the only one out there on the ocean ; ) Anyhow, I walked out to the end of it, sat down and watched a very hazy sunrise appear that morning. It was beautiful! Those dark & light tones of orange & gold hazing around the sun were amazing to witness : ) One thing I tried to do was zoom-in and avoid that buoy (which you can now see) in the shot... but after messing with it for a while I put the camera down and tried to 'take in the scene' from a fresh angle. What I realized was that I was very alone out there on the edge of this rock pier... and I let my mind wonder a bit about the ripples forming around that buoy ; ) It made me think of that powerful intro scene in the film JAWS!, when the person makes a last attempt to hold on to the buoy before fate takes its course. It also reminded me of another scene from the same film where the giant shark pulls barrels under the water with ease... (I began to hear that low rumbling theme from the movie!) A vivid imagination fit real well with that early morning experience! After watching that buoy for a while, bobbing in that early hazy sunrise... while I was out there all alone, wondering what all was swimming beneath those waters... I decided to keep it in the shot, as it had made such an exciting impact! When I returned to shore again, I crossed through that submerged area of the pier a bit quicker than before ; ) (I actually did see one other person that early morning, and that was the 'Golden Fisherman' which I captured & uploaded here earlier) [ www.flickr.com/photos/crush777roxx/28635691506/ ] Again, hope you guys understand why I won't be uploading for a while. I believe I'll actually have more time to catch up and interact with everyone this way : ) Also hope you enjoy the new photo (& possibly even the backstory of my experience that morning!) And of course, thank you so much for your support my friends! It is always my wish that you find something interesting or enjoyable in my shares with you : ) Have a wonderful day ahead everyone and see you all again soon!!! : ) CRUSH https://flic.kr/p/M7ovWE
