The Tourists Have Arrived... by lauriehiggins

The Tourists Have Arrived...

And some of them are kindred spirits. I loved the tilt of this guy's head (and his crazy hair), because it looked like he raced to the beach like we did.

My husband and I spent the better part of the day planting our garden. We were tired and dirty (really dirty) and didn't really fit in among the clean and preppy tourists all around us. But there is something about a sunset that makes everyone equal.
Lovely sentiment and colors. Sunsets are universally appealing, no matter who or where you are, it seems!

Gorgeous capture of an equally gorgeous sunset. I did the same thing. Mowed my lawn & my neighbors because they are seasonal residents and pulling weeds until sunset. Decided to hope in my car and rush to the beach to catch the sunset. Amazed at how many people were out viewing the sunset.

How beautiful to see sunset over water. Love the object in your shot, along with the bike. Very nice photo.

I fave'd this because of the beauty in the shot and also, I just simply like a guy sitting on the beach by himself, taking time out of his day to take in the beauty. Who knows what was going though his mind.

Nice first shot of the summer season.

The guy seems to be quite young... odd to be sitting there by himself! Perhaps he is on 365?

This had to be a fav Laurie. Just the softness and inviting feel to this sunset, I can imagine myself sitting there taking it all in.

Love that the young man is taking time to enjoy the sunset, too! I love this shot, Laurie!

Beautiful shot. I can see where the tourist may be annoying disturbing the peacefulness of the place.

You've managed to capture the magic of the sunset. He's drawn in. My friend just recently planted a garden, and she enjoyed the fruits of her labor just recently. One of these days I'm going to do the same with a little plot of the little backyard I have.
