Disappointed

Lately we've been having sea snow on and off, and today it was lovely, despite the gray skies. After lunch with a friend, I headed to Nauset Beach to take photos. This was my first photo of the day of over 100, but it spoke to me of a story. The writer in me can never resist a story. I'm guessing a very disgruntled Super Bowl fan left this baseball cap (???) on the bench...

@stepheesue Did I guess corrrectly? I'm not a football fan, but I know San Fran lost. Why do football fans wear baseball hats of their favorite teams? Sports are such a mystery to me.

[Peter Hemphill]

This is a great shot.

[Traci McLaughlin]

I like this, I normally only watch the Superbowl for the commercials.....

fav
i loved this from the thumbnail i first saw and then liked it more in full size.
that splash of red make me pulled into the photo.
thanks.

[Amy Spada]

Yes, it does tell a story. Boy does it look cold!

[Maggiemae]

It could be summer and sand but is probably winter and snow! Lovely photo composition!

[Jennifer C]

oh the superbowl is getting bigger here, it gained lots of media attention especially when there was a blackout! BTW this is a fav, i can't imagine snow on the beach x

[Katie Busick]

great shot... love the pop of red. We may get a lot more snow Friday.

[Jo]

A lovely simple shot, very effective.

[Rick Schies]

It made for a wonderful photo opportunity, and I would think too if it was a 49'r, the hat probably went flying after the word of losing was out.

[Junko Y]

A simple and effective communication of the story -- or at least, the imagined story! I wonder how the red would impact the overall if you cropped a bit of the bench out and had more sea sand background to allow the 'grief" to air?

[ACRaszman]

It really makes you wonder. Great shot!

[Mike Warren]

Great shot. Lovely composition.

[stephanie dp]

haha! we wear the team's logos and colors to show our ardent love and support of same. this image tells it all. a forlorn Niners fan, sat in the snow, sobbed, and shuffled slowly away. . .leaving the remnants of his hope for this year. Next year will be another. . . :)))))

[Laurie Higgins]

@jyokota Excellent suggestion, Junko! I didn't really think about it when I was snapping. I was just drawn to the red, but I do think it would tell a more subtle story if I had shot it the way you suggested.

[Laurie Higgins]

@stepheesue That's pretty much how I pictured the story too, Stephanie!

[joey d.Muli]

what a great ---image-i feel the ambience-cold and lonely---btw,my beach photo was taken in Daytona,Florida:)

[paula365]

what a great story, you may be right too! I really like the way you composed this, with the bench coming from the corner of the image. very nice!

[Paul Myers]

@lauriehiggins They wear baseball hats, because they would look silly wearing football helmets.

[Kathy A]

Beautiful shot. Love the pop of red.

[Laurie Higgins]

@webfoot I don't know about that, Paul. A teenage girl from my church wore a football helmet to church on Sunday and she looked adorable. I'm not sure everyone could pull off that look, though. Thanks for the laugh!

[Junko Y]

@lauriehiggins -- I am learning so much from YOU and from this community and I always appreciate it when others leave me something to think about - so that's all I was trying to do. Your photo is beautiful as is, too, but why not have another (and more) variations, right? :)

[Tone Linn]

I love this, the soft tones and the pop of red. A fav.

[Elizabeth]

this is fantastic..it does tell a story, doesn't it?

[Sandie Reardon]

Oh my, Laurie, this is the beginning of a wonderful story.....it was a cold and blustery day on Cape Cod.....
