the old men and the sea

While beach walking in Maine, I came across these two silhouettes in the sand, along the ocean's edge.

I have brought them together in photoshop, and blended the sand line between the two;

but otherwise this is how they appeared, complete with bits of rust and red seaweed!

 

While processing, I was thinking of Ernest Hemingway's book with the two characters,

Santiago and Manolin!

 

“The perch swallows the grub-worm, the pickerel swallows the perch, and the fisherman swallows the pickerel;

and so all the chinks in the scale of being are filled.”

~ Henry David Thoreau ~

 

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
