People Watching

More from Whitby, illustrating some of the human specimens I observed while wandering around.  It was cold when we arrived, so there weren't very many people on the beach.  This person seemed to have the right idea.

The next group struck me as "three of a kind".  I'm not sure I'd want to meet any of them on a dark night...

Others were sitting, watching the world go by.

Shops and Cafes are always good places to observe human behaviour.  The Cafe, in this instance, is the world famous Magpie which serves the best fish and chips ever!

The centre of the town became really busy towards the end of the afternoon, so I retreated onto the West Pier where the last two shots were taken.

Not quite sure why, but I seem to be going through a bit of a monochrome phase at the moment.

What is it about couples and the way they interact? The first two were having a well-earned rest after looking around the Mediterranean Biome at the Eden Project. The other two were tucking into Fish & Chips at Mevagissey in the March sunshine. In both cases, the wide angle lens on the Lumix was enough for me to photograph them without arousing suspicion.



There again, sometimes it is other cameras which are watching us! The following image was taken at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, in the hide which was set up when the place was visited by BBC2's Spring Watch. There was a demonstration of technology for filming inside nesting boxes, and yours truly managed to get captured in the process. There must be quite a delay in the system, however, as I was obviously reviewing a previous picture at the time I took the one shown here!
