A Tale of Two Fishermen

   Here are two images of fishermen that evokes distinctly different moods. The upper image, shot on the island of Santorini, Greece, engenders a sense of tranquility. Gentle waves wash up on the sand as the angler calmly awaits a bite. One wonders whether he even cares about making a catch, as he seems lost in thought. Santorini is a volcanic island, as evidenced by the black sand and rocks.
   The lower image below was taken at the Ludlowville falls [south of Rochester]. In August, I posted a cropped version as a panorama. This scene has quite a different feel to it. Water streams over the crest and cascades down the rocks. We can almost hear its ‘roar’ as the angler, dwarfed by the falls, is caught up with unsnarling his line, evoking a totally different feeling.
