Boats

Best viewed large if you have a moment. Thank you.
Lester and I went to Southend on Sunday but it was jam-packed so we moved on down the road to Shoeburyness and enjoyed lunch and a stroll along the beach there.
I couldn't help feeling that the people on the red boat looked as if they didn't realise that you take boats out on the water. Just my warped way of looking at things, I guess!

Love boat photos! Wonderful capture. Are they a little high and dry?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@eyesmile Thank you, Gena. Yes, but it's just because the tide was out.

[👑 AnaZad]

Oh what a funny shot. Love their sense of humor. They saved on gas.

[Loopy-Lou]

Wonderful fun shot.

[Janet]

Perhaps they're practising the Canute thing!

[elkehochban]

Guess they found out the hard way that you can't catch fish that way ;-)

[Milanie]

I looked large before I read your caption - was really puzzled at what they were doing - those weren't going to float I was pretty sure! This was such a fun shot to get.

[Mac]

Love it! Great catch!

[Terrie]

Hahaha, thats so funny. The tide is a long way out. What were they doing? Great fun timely shot Alison.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Yeah, the red boat folks look lost! So funny. Is this not bad for boats to sit on the land like this?

[Claire]

Great shot, however it was a stop press moment when you mentioned a place called Shoeburyness! Really that sounds an amazing place! Must put that on my to visit list. :0))

[Al Bailey]

Fab shot .... you are so right - they do look a bit weird all on the boat like that with no water :)

[Rosie Kind]

Love the typical British colours of red white and blue

[Kazzy]

"Waiting for the tide to turn" alternative title lol I guess they have a few coldies (beer) to see them through the long wait. Such an interesting photo...those boats look so forlorn and I love the pop of red.

[John Falconer]

At least no problems with sea sickness or life jacket requirements!!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture. Love the red boat - gives colour to the picture.

[carol white]

Great shot,quite comical just sitting and chatting,high and dry!!

[Jean Tookey]

A great composition. Lovely colours. I like the lines in the background. Is it a breakwater or pier ?

[Lisa Stein]

What a curious find! I can imagine that the red boat people are a little dismayed! Great shot!

[Matt Clendon]

I love the pop of the red boat. So cheerful looking.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

I love the boats although they don't look as if they will be going anywhere really soon!

[Laura J.]

Very nice shot

[Jennifer C]

haha had to fav

[Netkonnexion]

Really like this. Fun shot. It worked well because of three boats. I am slightly distracted by the odd indistinct "things" over the horizon. Not sure why that is, but there you go... thats photography! LOL.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@netkonnexion Thank you. Hmm, yeah, see what you mean about the 'things'. Maybe it's because they are almost smack on the top, horizontal thirds line? I'll re-jig the CR2 and clone them out.
