Fishing

 

Fishing, I imagine, has a close-to-nature appeal for sportsmen similar to birdwatching for those who like a purposeful fresh-air outing in scenic elements.

Catching something for dinner may not always be the first objective of fishing, but this woman caught a keeper.

For some it's an immersion swim into the submarine environment where fish are pursued by all manner of birds and mammals and the scenery is other-worldly.

Some folks stay high and dry, pursuing trophies for Facebook as well as the cooking grill.

Some team up commercially to make a living at sea,

while others are drawn to solitary rhythms and harvests.

Every one of these shoreline adventurers recognizes the conditions and contests that Ernest Hemingway depicted so vividly.
