Taking A Pause/ Sky Watch

Overlooking Cook's Bay, Keswick, Ontario

He's on his cell phone, probably explaining where he is and why he's not home. What do you think he's saying?

    A beautiful spot to stop and rest awhile - probably a good long while. Lovely photo.

    I very much doubt he is discussing the scenery, probably just talking and talking and had to stop before his bike turned over. i find people on cell phones have no idea where they are or what is around them. this is a really beautiful photo and i would not be on the phone if i were there unless taking a photo of it. great capture

    In the face of such a beautiful scene I think he's telling his love 'I love you.' (Okay, so I'm a romantic . . . )

    Nice shot EG, it looks very peaceful and no wonder people like to sit there with a nice view like that. Funny that is called Keswick too, since we have a Keswick in the UK, Cumbria.

    Knowing many cell phone users, I'm going to be a killjoy and say that whatever he's saying has absolutely nothing to do with the sunset! He probably doesn't even see it...

    SKY SONG

    Glowing moon and shining stars,
    Venus, Jupiter and Mars,
    Planets swirling round the sun;
    Darkness falls when day is done.

    In the vast and endless sky
    Eagle, wren and falcon fly;
    Over hill and dale they roam,
    Calling cloud and thunder home.

    Cell phones are really invading our world. Everywhere I go, I see someone on a cell phone. Grocery shopping, hiking, I even saw a guy talking on a blue tooth while kayaking last week. I like to think that these people are lucky enough to be able to work via phone, enabeling them to be those other places while working.

    Hi there - I think he is a comedian - he's going through a stand up routine (even though he's sat down!) and he not really on the phone! Hiding in plain sight!

    Well maybe!

    Superb. There's a story here, I know. Oh, here it is:

    He bought the bike
    This afternoon
    In a bike shop
    In Ontario.

    He hopped upon
    The little seat and
    Pedaled toward
    Cook's Bay.

    Trouble was he
    Lost his way
    'Cause he's from
    Florida.

    So now he's calling
    911
    Asking for directions.

    The operator said
    "You must be daft
    And we ain't gonna
    give you none."

    Confused by that ol'
    Nasty wench
    He spent the night
    Upon the bench.

    But in the morn
    He woke to sing
    La di dah di dah

    Happily he headed
    South to nice, cool
    Florida!

    oh I love doing this - imagining his conversation. I think he's on the phone sharing with someone he loves precisely what beauty is before his eyes. I think this may have taken the top spot on my favorites list of your photos. and that's pretty darn hard to do. exquisite serenity. WOW. have a glorious weekend E.G.

    "You wouldn't come home either if you could see what I'm seeing!" Fabulous. Again.

    [Capiz lanterns are used as everyday garden decor (although they are often sold as xmas decor overseas, but smaller). They come in various shapes, and sometimes coloured, but the round natural ones are the standard, and I like them best. These were not mine, but I have a set of them too. They give a wonderful warm glow when lit.]
