Ola

Anyone for icecream? Went to the beach this afternoon before going to the hospital, hoping to find some windsurfers again, but no action at all - just families enjoying a Saturday afternoon out in the hot weather

Fabulous shot Desi, the icecream man just pops into the eye! I noticed that before I saw our beloved mountain 😉

[Annie-Sue]

He really does stand out!

See red, shoot it! Great shot...and what a backdrop!

[Richard Sayer]

Very different from the high winds and sideways rain that we're 'enjoying' here!

[Desi]

@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana. Technically speaking very poor composition because my subject is riding out of the frame - but unfortunately I really wanted him in the context of the seaside and mountain behind him, and framing him to be riding into the frame lost all of that with public toilets/change rooms in the background instead. Yuck!

[Desi]

@anniesue Yes indeed, he does stand out. Like coca cola, red is Ola's branding colour anyway, and it certainly works in grabbing the eye

[Desi]

@narayani You got it - that is my mantra exactly. I guess I should've bought an ice cream from him but I was walking around with nothing but my camera

[Desi]

@vignouse Yes very different indeed. Some rain wouldn't go amiss here, although the high wind does make it unpleasant to be out in it

Perfect example of the “if it’s red, shoot it” principal. I don’t blame you for not wanting the bathrooms in the back room. The background here is gorgeous!
