Wistful

Wistful female passenger on New York City subwaySubway, New York City

I was struck by the wistfulness of this young woman and would have been happy simply capturing her.  But then I saw the larger scene – the busyness of the couple to her right, clearly on a schedule –  and loved the contrast. I just had to push the shutter.

Gois

Did you hear about the road on the sea in France ?
Between the continent and the island called “Noirmoutier” ?
In the west coast of the France, the sea goes up and down depending on the tide.
So, when the sea goes up, a road appears and we can reach the Island or the mainland.
Many people go fishing seashells called “parloudes” (clams).

It was the history of “Le Gois”, the sea road.

Be careful, don’t be caught by the sea…

Pacific Beauty

I must admit I left my husband at the dinner table to run out and capture the sun’s last hurrah as it set over the Pacific Ocean. (No worries – I did have his blessing.) Alas, the sun moved more quickly than I did, and without many clouds in the sky there wasn’t a great deal of color, but I thought the scene worked beautifully in black and white. Hope you agree!
