High Tide

Not on your Nellie!

This expression popped up in our day’s experiences but heaven knows why!

We were downtown getting some good coffee and some sun at our seaside cafe and I felt so lucky to be able to see this scene right in front of me!
The little fishing boats come in but we can’t buy fish here.

To be thankful for’
Friends on 365 who comment with humour!
…..and a stray Easter egg hiding in the pantry which got cut in half!
Lovely high key

These fishermen aren’t allowed to sell you fish? Omarua is not a fishing port then....that’s a shame if you like fresh fish. Lovely to watch the little boats coming in though. Our daughter & SIL are staying in the north of England at a little fishing town called Seahouses. Half an Easter egg.....you are living it up!!

@happypat All the fish go up to Timaru and are processed there then sent to various places. We get fresh fish from the supermarket but it would probably be a day old!

@maggiemae Ah that’s not too far away then....your fish in NZ is so fresh & varied. Fleetwood was the nearest fishing port to us & it was a busy bustling fishing port but it’s much smaller now & practically all the fishing fleet has gone. Sad times...our fishing industry has been decimated by EU laws.

@happypat Didn't realise that.. Maybe Brexit might help!

love the high key shot

Lovely shot of the harbour and the boats. I love to sit and watch a view like this with something always going on! Drinking coffee while doing it sounds perfect! That was an exciting find in the pantry!

A wonderful seascape. Please tell me you did not eat that Easter egg!

A beautiful image - love the high key and the mono tones of the scene - so quiet and peaceful !
Hope you enjoyed your 1/2 of the crème egg !

Lovely treatment

@maggiemae oh my! Well if they aren’t refrigerated pretty quickly after the celebrations, we throw them away. I still think you are brave!
August 10th, 2019  
Great scene!
August 10th, 2019  
Such an interesting scene -- and I like your processing.
August 10th, 2019  
Nicely captured morning light. (And clarification please....are we talking candy Easter egg or chicken Easter egg...?). :)

@amyk Chocolate covered marshmallow, Amy!
August 10th, 2019  
Great composition

Neat capture. The water looks calm and still. A shame you can't buy the fish direct, but the fishermen probably have orders to fill.
August 10th, 2019  
@grannysue You have to pay for a licence to sell fish here and unless you own a restaurant like 'Fleur' its not worth it.
August 10th, 2019  
A beautiful scene you have captured here. Pleased you did not keep the egg for next Easter ;-)

@ludwigsdiana These eggs were made in our town by a reasonably famous manufacturer! They also make pineapple lumps - we send these to our adult childrens' families!

A lovely scene and I like the high key processing
August 10th, 2019
