Octopus Fishing

Guess how many dolphins were jumping off the port side of the ferry as we left the islands!!!

Two weeks ago, at the start of my holiday, I watched these men fishing for octopus, wonder if they left their posts in the meantime?

Well done

[Rob Z]

A wonderful street (or jetty) scene - such characters!!

[Anne]

Love this Jackie, the stillness of the water and mountains and the characters in the foreground.

[Diana]

A fabulous scene and lovely capture. So glad you spotted the dolphins 😉

[Gillian Brown]

Great shot.

[amyK]

I like the composition and light on this

[Merrelyn]

Glad you got to see some dolphins. Lovely light in this. The guy on the left doesn't look too happy about being photographed.

[JackieR]

@merrelyn he wasn't happy!

@amyk thank you v much
@gillian1912 lucky timing I think
@ludwigsdiana dolphins from yacht would have been better!!
@365anne it was so so still
@robz thanks Rob @sdutoit thanks Sylvia

Back in London, M25 gridlocked so won't be home for hours( probably longer than flight from Greece!)

[Carole Sandford]

Chap on left probably thinking “ bl**dy tourists!” Nice scene of local culture!

[Casablanca]

Tag it for the street-45 if you like, it's a smashing street shot!

[JackieR]

@casablanca done!!! But not changed to B&W which is usual for street I believe

[Casablanca]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I have no idea! i am hosting it this time and said colour, b&w, anything in between.......whatever! I just wanted people in it, not just architecture. So yours is great!

[JackieR]

@casablanca thank you x

[Hazel]

This is a lovely shot, hard to define but a lovely composition and scene and I like the chap on the left just checking you out!

[Catherine]

One of them has definitely got his eye in you!!!!

[JackieR]

@carole_sandford @quietpurplehaze @megpicatilly last photo taken on holiday. Now home to a pile of laundry, shopping and definitely no dolphins!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Dolphins are always such a joyful thing to see! The fellow on the left is not too pleased about being in your picture- either that or he's annoyed with the dolphins which do scare off the fish- and maybe octopus too! Great candid!

[JackieR]

@olivetreeann the octopus were quite large and I watched one escape!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I don't remember if it was on TV or when I was actually in Greece that I learned some of them fish by placing pots on the ocean floor, just waiting for the octopus to climb in and then bringing the pot up to the surface.

[JackieR]

@olivetreeann we saw that method too!!

[Marloes]

Great lighting and good comp. Love the captured atmosphere.
