Gold Coast Queensland Candid Series #1316 Burleigh Heads

 


Two steps from the sea,
yet lost in a screen
the tide checks in hourly,
he checks in between.

The horizon composes
a masterpiece wide,
but his thumb conducts
a far smaller tide.

Waves crash their applause,
clouds drift with intent
meanwhile, a message:
“Seen.”
…then not sent.

  1. Un blanco y negro estupendo como ya es habitual en tus fotos. Una foto que hace que la vista se detenga en los dos hombres que parecen mirar el celular y de ahí dar un salto para apreciar ese cielo en el que el sol se oculta entre las nubes y dejar ver su reflejo en las aguas. Una foto con autentico interés.
    Abrazo

  2. Deixar de viure el moment, és perdre's mitja vida.
    L'horitzó es mostra meravellós.
    Salutacions.

  8. I like the picture, but I have to wonder if they aren't looking at a picture that one just took of the surf-- rather than texting. Perhaps that is just wishful thinking. Nice capture of the two guys.

  9. Perhaps these guys are trying to find their way to the sea using google maps? I'm just kidding. They are sharing something on that screen.

  11. I wonder what is so compelling on that phone? Especially with all that beauty around them!
