AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Fishermen at Queenscliff


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Fishermen on a pier at Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.
I especially like this photo because it highlights a range of age groups enjoying one interest!
But fishing still appears to be a sport dominated by males!

Old sport of fishing
Old ways and new synchronise
Fresh souls are learners

Very cool picture and yes partly because of the very reason you mentioned, the ages of the fisherMEN.

I really like your photo of the fishermen. Yes, it has something for everyone, no matter their age.

Looks like they're having a good time (in a quiet sort of way, don't want to scare the fish). It's great you were able to capture this memoment.

Boys, old men, and in between are so cute when fishing. :D Great photo.

I did notice it was male dominated!
My Grandpa loved fishing and seeing someone fishing today makes me think of him everytime.
Nice shot Gemma!

You're right about mostly men enjoying fishing. It's the Tom Sawyer/ Huck Finn in them...but I do have female friends who like to fish too. ;-)
