I took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset. They were lovely, with their cameras, phones and iPads, capturing images of the gorgeous sunset.
This gentleman was really cute, he was videotaping the scene and describing it as he went. I wondered if he was recording the words for himself or if he had left a friend or spouse at home and was recording it for them. A helicopter went overhead during his recital and he followed it with his video camera, words forgotten.

How cute indeed! Sometimes it’s nice to wonder what’s going on – why he’s filming, who he’s talking for, will he ever watch it back?? I like all the ‘wondering whys’ when people watching.

Nice shot indeed. I would like answers to the questions too, but answering them for him could lead to some interesting stories. 🙂

Yes I suspect so. Maybe a good story prompt? Thanks Norah.

I think so. Actually I read a post by Geoff Le Pard today. He posted some videos of his garden, telling us about his roses – made me think of your post! http://geofflepard.com/2015/06/05/a-rose-for-the-thinking-man/

Thanks Norah, I just read Geoff’s post. Lovely. What a great nostalgic trip through his gardening experiences. Of course my imagination puts the subject of my photo straight into his story!

Oh dear. I think it’s a long term problem. I checked mine, it doesn’t do it either.

Hmmnn maybe start a chat with a HE, more pressure might help.

Wierd, I’m on my dashboard, and don’t have a spot on the bottom right hand corner that asks for help with a HE. Anyway no worries, I’ll figure this out if it kills me 🙂
