Old man by the sea, a photo from Almeria, Andalucia

I captured this portrait outside the diving centre at Las Negras this morning. The old man is enjoying the early morning sunshine on the sea wall.

hello Digby

Nice old sailor portrait basking in the sun in front of the diving club. He is thinking of his active life while looking far away at the sea.
Good sharpness on the main subject outstanding on the blurred background.
Cheers

Hi Digby. Quiet and peaceful it is here. The old people sit somewhere and watch the life. This is similar in almost all the southern countries. But this man seems to sit alone. Perhaps he expected a friend - or more. A subtle and beautiful photo, indeed. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hi Digby,
Your shot brought my memory to famous book "An old man and the sea" by Ernest Hemingway.
I like how you composed your shot with colorful background. Superb color, light snd sharpness.
Have a nice weekend,
Zbigniew
