Can you tell?

This guy was pulling away from me fast!

So here is a picture I took of a guy swimming for exercise, or so I thought anyway. He was swimming away from me, and he was pulling away pretty fast and on an impulse, I just took the shot then swung away to shoot something else. . Now, looking back at the picture, I began to wonder… ok, so there was a guy and he was swimming away from me pretty fast, but it also looks like there is more than one person in the shot. I find this interesting because I never saw the other person at all! There must have been a second person though, either that or the person swimming away from me suffered from a deformity! Look at the foot and tell me if you agree with me or not? I think there must have been a second guy who dived just before I took the shot, don’t you?

Why should you care about all this? I dunno… I am just posting this shot because it shows a lot of the beach in front of one of the nice hotels along the Seven Mile Beach, the Westin Casaurina. Pretty place, me ah tell you! To see the big picture, just click on the one showing above, ok?

So what else do I have to tell you? Well, I am on vacation leave until the 26th of February. Natty is not here with me, but MBJr. is. Natty has gone to see her parents in Florida. We have been missing her, especially MBJr., who was crying earlier when he realised he won’t see his mom this weekend… poor likkle fellow. :(

You know, I have so much I could write about right now, but I just don’t have the energy. We will see if tomorrow brings that energy spurt to make a good post flow. Hopefully it will be a nice day as well, ’cause I would like to go to the beach. By the way, I saw the movie Babel today… it was a good movie, but it was a little weird. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d recommend it but remember, I also said it was weird.

Anyways, me gone. Talk to you tomorrow, hopefully.

  1. Well, my interpretation of the picture is that it is a single swimmer but, they seem to have bad form. People often have strange quirks in their movement or posture or facial expressions that go completely unnoticed until a camera freezes them at the right instant. Suddenly, they are “deformed”.

    The second person in the picture is strolling on the beach.

  2. I agree with Swim Judge. I see one man in the water and another on shore.

    Maybe you, Natty and MBJr. could have gone together since you on vacation. Go when MBJr is on half term or the like…..anyway, I guess you will survive.

  3. were you standing in the water?

  4. @ Owen - Si, senor.

    @ Doctor D. - Ahhh, you do wish me well after all! :) So, the cheque in the mail or wah?

    @ Doctor D and Swim Judge - So you don’t think that foot is at too awkward an angle to be attached to the swimmer then?

  5. i say 1 swimmer as well. also not a bad jscript implementation for you photo enlarger thingy :)

  6. Good one MB. Getting more adventureous everyday. i too like the effect on enlarging, pretty cool!
