Langstone Harbour at Low tide

It was a gloomy day, so black and white seemed to be the way to go.

I remember when I was a young lad, there was a wooden pontoon tied to that post, and us kids used to swim out to it and dive off it or just lie in the sun. Then someone invented "health and safety" and that was the end of that :-((

Not my grandad Herb, but my Dad was a keen amateur photographer when he was younger and he always took a lot of photos of us kids.

Glad you like the photo and thanks for dropping by..!!

Thank you so much Güni..........I'm happy that you like my composition and the black and white processing. It brought back some good childhood memories.

You're right..........times are very different now and a lot of children stay indoors using phones, tablets and computers to experience the world. It's a bit sad I think!

Thanks for your lovely comments as always. Have a nice evening my friend, best wishes, Keith.

Le moment décisif -- the birds fly and and help make the eyes draw in from the boat. Trust me.

I suppose it depends on your point of view Stephan. I quite like low tide as you see things that would usually be hidden. Thanks for dropping in and commenting.
