While driving South along the Atlantic shoreline in Nova Scotia, I came across a most interesting dock and stopped to get a few shots. Totally engrossed, I didn't hear this fellow approaching until he spoke. Like all the folks I've ever met in the maritime provinces, he was as cordial as a long lost friend, and invited me onto his very unique dock, which I shall post next. About to leave, I asked if he'd mind being photographed, and here is one of the two I shot.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Please DON'T leave credits, what good are they ?? Thanks There are certain people on this site that love to download photos that people have posted on here, and re-edit them to their liking... I don't do that and I would greatly appreciate if the person that does it would bug off and go do your photos,
