Fisherman and a wave

Rock fishing is a very popular form of fishing in Australia. However, as this photograph of a huge wave raising high above the fishermen demonstrates it can be a very dangerous activity. This photograph was taken soon after sunrise and the fishermen look straight in to the light of the morning sun may not even see a big wave like this coming his way. Luckily, this man was a very experienced fishermen and kept moving away from the edge of the rocks as each big wave set approached.

Girl Knitting

This young girl in the beret was knitting something in Hyde Park during lunchtime.

I associate knitting with something my grandmother did. As a child I had countless sweaters and winter scarf knitted by her. Usually in a mix of blue and white threads.

These days knitting is a not an activity one sees often. Sometimes there will be a lady on try train ustilising the time to knit something up. It is a skill that no longer saves money as the cheap imports from developing countries undercut the need of making garments yourself. And yet, I hope that many kids in generations to come will have nice memories as I have of a sweater knitted by their close ones.
