Fishing with The Deceasedby *hougaard

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Waterscapes

[EDIT] green thing desaturated

For the last 20 years of my grandfather's life he spent at least 2 hours a day standing on the exact spot where the ghost is standing....He never really caught that many fish, but I think it was more about getting away from my grandmother, feeling the spray and the waves of the sea he loved so much, and smoking his pipe....
