[Pedro the Fisherman]

We now start three days of posting, with just one subject, for a change. On this beach some people have made shelters out of stones, so they can take in the sun, even when it is a little cold and windy out of season. In high summer, these are sometimes used by couples who wish to have a little privacy, normally due to a shy female! I quite like getting close to them, as it stops any single male setting up near me, usually right in the line of shooting.

However this day, a couple (hippyish, mid-twenties) ignored me being just a few feet away and moved in. The walls are much lower in the summer as people take away stones to staedy parasols, so it did not give much privacy (except from my camera at ground level).

After a while she asked the guy to see if they could get more shelter (from the sun) by closing off the gap with stones at the front as she wanted to take a siesta, he said he was fine as he liked looking at the beach, if she wanted it higher 'build it up yourself'. Despite her being only a few feet away, I decided that she would be concentrating on the stones, not me so got ready.

The results are not perfect as she was too close for the angles to work well (better ones still to come), but it's nice to have some closer shots for a change!
