Walking by the sea

A man takes a walk by the sea. It’s a warm day, hot when the sun shows itself. I didn’t really notice him – at the time I was more absorbed in taking shots of the barrier between the walkway and the shore. But he veered into the frame and I made use of his presence. He was unaware of this.

I took the photograph on a trip to Margate, a seaside resort in Kent, south-east England. It’s a town of contrasts and many interests for the photographer. There will be more from Margate in the upcoming days.

The stripes of his shirt juxtaposed to the barrier is fun to look at. Glad he walked by. :)

  Thank you for coming by to comment, Rigel. Yes, he wasn’t expected and I can’t tell you his story as I wasn’t concentrating on him! But imagining this story is half the fun…

    Indeed. I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about him.
