It's Freezing

I took this photo last Saturday when we were at the marine rescue event and thought it would be a good shot for my Friday people.

It was a bitterly cold morning and as I was walking back along the breakwater to the marina I came across this chap doing some fishing. I guess he thought it was cold too.

You can see by the way his beard is blowing in the wind that it was quite breezy. Not so cold though once I got back to the marina out of the wind.

I hope he caught some fish.
You've captured the essence of a fisherman. Two coats, and prepared to endure anything to catch a fish.

Oh my gosh, for a split second I thought that was my brother! He looked just like that before Christmas when a new job forced him to get rid of most of his facial hair. Even my other half who didn't look closely first time said it was brother! Freaked me out abit Babs, lol, lol.

You have to be keen to sit in the cold fishing I reckon! That beard would keep a bit of the wind out but he still has his sunglasses on so can't be bad!

he looks more than happy for you to be taking his picture. The cold comes across and I like the way his beard picks up the light to bring some brightness into the foreground.

It does look cold there. Excellent portrait shot.
July 1st, 2016

@ethelperry @julzmaioro @happysnaps @ivan @hermann @salza @merrelyn @thistle @bkbinthecity @craftymeg @seattlite @happypat @quietpurplehaze @365projectorgjenfurj @ladymagpie @beryl @kwind @pcoulson @helenhall @mittens @loweygrace Thanks everyone, it was about 8 degrees C and the wind out there on the breakwater was biting. It did warm up as the day went on, but chilly all day. The clear blue skies always make it cold here in winter.

@stephanies Ha ha, they say everyone has a double, your brothers double is in the southern hemisphere not the northern.
July 2nd, 2016  
@golftragic You think he was rugged up, you should have seen me. I looked like Nanook of the North.
July 2nd, 2016  
He is surely totally wrapped and I guess beard keeps man warm too.
July 2nd, 2016  
I like the reflection in his shades & his wiry beard.
July 2nd, 2016  
Love it!
July 2nd, 2016  
Such a great portrait - you've captured his character there! fav
July 2nd, 2016
