Not Everyone Was There For The View _DSC8759

I have never seen the car parks at Point Peron so full and was wondering what was going on. Then I noticed everyone had a mobile phone. Apparently the Point is a Pokémon hot spot.
I hope this counts as a diptych.
For July 16 Words diptych

[Babs]

Of course it counts as a diptych and it tells a story too. Well spotted.

[Bep]

Yes, I agree. It surely is a diptych. Sad they didn't enjoy the beautiful view.

[lccl18]

Hope they do look up from their phones at some point.. Such nice view

[Lynda McG]

Haha - great captures! !

[julia]

Great dyptch.. Let's hope they did see some of the view.

[Pyrrhula]

Love the view . Halve a fav. (Kidding)

[Sandy]

Great diptych that tells a story.

[Denise Wood]

It's a sad story with that beautiful view begging to be looked at, rather than a phone!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome collage.

[Peter Grave]

I nearly run over a girl on a pedestrian crossing doing the phone thing.She did not even look as she walked on to it.Nicely captured.

[Debbie]

Isn't it amazing the way this Pokemon has taken off. I was at Kings Park a couple of weeks ago and was blown away with the number of people walking around hunting for Pickachoo.

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, My gosh, I saw a man walk straight into a pole !!!!!! Great capture.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

The world could past by and they wouldn't have seen

[Sue Cooper]

That's so sad.
Diptych, a new word for me. I've just looked it up and this is definitely a diptych. (It's amazing what you learn on 365).

[Jodie]

They are missing out, great view, at least they are outside.

[Dave59]

I initially thought Pokémon Go would be more phone people walking around. It's pretty clear now, it's just more people on phones:p

[Merrelyn]

@sketch2 This is only a few of the people who were there, most of them were walking around :)

[Dave59]

They're parking at the bottom of my street. Is that cheating?

[Merrelyn]

@sketch2 Are they just sitting there or do they get out? I have heard that some people are offering their services to drive players around so that they can keep playing while on the move. I don't get it, but if it's getting people out and about, maybe it's ok :)

[Dave59]

Most seem to have learnt to play from their cars. Sounds like the developers need to change the rules.

This is so funny! and a sign of the times .... love it!
