Anglers

SCCN0180 [Anglers]

Strolling along the sea front in Thessaloniki late one afternoon, I came across this bunch of anglers who, in parallel with their fishing, they were each doing whatever their soul desired. I hope at some point in time they also noticed and enjoyed the beautiful sunset in the distance.

Next to the anglers there was an unattended fishing rod [not seen in the picture above] waiting for a fish to bite. I found its reel inviting, so I took the picture below.

Please click on the picture above for a better view.
