The fisherman/men

This tiny village (no shop) sits on the eastern side of the Canterbury coast in the South Island of NZ. Fishing is serious here and all ages cast their rods at the trout that could be in these waters.
Rough tracks led to favourite waterside places to fish and floods and mud did not deter the average vehicle

Such a great shot of this lovely scene, gorgeous skyscape too. Did you venture down to the water?

[Helen Jane]

tranquil and lovely image with all the plant types in the foreground. And a great little description too.

[Lou Ann]

A wonderful seaside scene.

Fishing is a solitary pastime isn't it. I don't think I would have the patience to just stand there for hours at a time.

[Bep]

Wonderful view!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A great pov for this tranquil sea-side scene - love the big stems of seed heads in the foreground - makes for a lovely composition !

Fabulous capture! Love the peaceful feeling which always seems to go with fishing.

A lovely photo story, your fisherman is very obvious there as he fishes, you can clearly see his fishing rod. Son & DIL are in Dunsandal this weekend. They flew down for joint house warming, engagement & birthday celebrations.

@grammyn Its actually an inlet here and the wild sea is just over that far bank.

[Allison Williams]

A lovely scene even for the non-fisher (me).

[gloria jones]

Great composition :)

[katy]

@maggiemae how about that? I would never have guessed

[Ron]

Certainly looks relaxing and remote. And yet, I'll bet you wouldn't have to go too far before coming across a discarded McDonald's wrapper....just kidding. Hope that's far from reality.

[Harry J Benson]

nice composition, gives one a relaxing feel

[Marnie]

Lovely scene, did you wet a line or two?
