While having lunch in a restaurant above the beach, I noticed this old man with a cane walking past. Despite his slow pace, before I could grab my camera he had passed too quickly for a photo of his wonderful face. If I had only been on the beach! What a wonderful conversation we might have had!!

Perhaps this is The Old Man and the Sea.
Your photo is very nice from this angle. I read once that photos should be taken head on but I have always enjoyed seeing them from this perspective.
We've enjoyed dandelion wine here though I've never tried making the jam. Someday . . .
I know the feeling---sometimes I wish I could be faster on the draw with both my camera and my ability to respond to the moment! In any event, a good photo.
I like when you post about people over there. I know its always a risk since lot of them prefer to hide. But it seems you are great at finding models:)
Great pictures of this man, he probably goes to the seaside to recharge energies.
he could be a regular there and you'll get to meet him again, i'm sure
je me suis fait la meme remarque que Carol e. Et si c'etait le fantome d'Ernest Hemingway.
I had the same remark that Carol E. And if it were the fantome of Ernest Hemingway.
Yeah!...it reminds us of 'The Old Man and The Sea'...very well captured shots!
I like the solitary feel of the old man walking. Alone with the many footprints in the sand.
Great capture.
Wonderful photographs. One could write a whole story about this man and the face would be in the imagination of the writer - and we'd all write a different story! Love the photos, Kate.

Man I thought I had the coolest comment, but then realized 'Carol E' used it already. I thought I would be so keen.
It's a great idea to post the picture of this old wise man after the cute little girl yesterday. There is quite a great deal of sensitivity in both of them.
Papa Hemingway himself!
I prefer his silhouette than en face - we can imagine his weathered face...Great photo!
I agree with isabella and me too I prefer to imagine his weathered face. Sometime it's better to let disclose at the mind :-)
Seems like a good way to spend the day!
Yes, but the picture speaks a thounsand words. And these two definetely do. Visit Tuzla DP - it's my last post there today.
