Fishing can be pleasant or miserable, depending upon the weather.

Here,
just off Vashon Island in Tramp Harbor,
three men dressed warmly against the cold, buffeting wind,
struggle to fish on a stormy, gray
afternoon.

I really liked this scene,
the drama of the sky,
the choppy ultramarine blue waves on Puget Sound
and the flash of sunlight off the white hull of their small boat.

This image was taken about a year ago.
Today’s weather is cold, dreary, gray and mostly foggy
due to a temperature inversion which has become stagnant over much of western Washington.
For those of you who came by for Rurality Blog Hop,
you’ll be happy to know that I DID take my camera out today,
but the light was flat
and I ended up not taking any images,
perhaps tomorrow
will be more suitable
for photography.

Wow, that sky is pretty scary.
Great picture – you can feel the cold!!
Great shot Madge. I can almost feel the wind a blown’.
Love the ‘moodiness’ of the photo… great shot!
It really does look like rough weather. Better than than me!!
Madge…I know exactly what you mean. I have gone out too many times to take photos this winter only to be greeted with flat light. When time is limited it’s frustrating.
Today’s photos were taken in my yard when it was in the double digits….below zero…with a new camera. They aren’t my best….but I do love the textures.
Hope your weekend is filled with the extraordinary.

Our skies don’t look much different! I like the sun on the boat.
Beautiful dramatic shot!!
My husband, who is an huge fisherman, would love the quote and your photo.
That does look like a threatening sky
What a cold atmosphere.
I do not envy that poor fisherman at all… Beautiful picture though! :)
it looks like a cold day to be out on the water! it’s sunny here today but only in the low 40’s :/
Wow what a sky – I think I would be scared if I was out there.
That does look like a rough ride. We’ve had a horrible amount of wind lately too.
You know that saying…a bad day fishing is better than a good day a work? Well, I have to disagree. A bad day fishing is really a bad day fishing…LOL I love fishing but the weather just has to be good. Love this beautiful shot!!!
