Big Sur Fisherman, Winter Surf. Big Sur, California. February 9, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

This lone fisherman was sitting above the roiling winter surf of the Big Sur California coastline. With surroundings like this it really shouldn’t matter whether you catch anything!

One other comment: It occurred to me afterwards that this would be an entirely different photograph if the very small figure of the fisherman had not happened to be on that rock at the moment I was there to make the photograph.
