Looking out to sea

I’ve just come back from a couple of days in Blackpool, and I have to say the the sea was much less inviting looking than the calm Adriatic waters at Lido di Jesolo – even taking into account the no diving sign on this under-repair jetty. By contrast the Irish Sea looked very rough, brown, and cold.

I managed to shoot a couple of rolls of film in Blackpool, so you might get a glimpse of the sea in those when they appear here at some point.

There are a couple of details I like about this shot.

The most obvious is the boat in the distance. While it almost certainly has no connection with the couple on the jetty, its positioning might suggest otherwise. Have they been left behind? Or are they perhaps bidding farewell?

The other detail is much more minor, but it’s the way that the couple’s waists are aligned with the horizon. I didn’t do it deliberately, or not conciously at least, but it’s a cool little detail, I think.
