Photo from 2006 Spring.
Golden Week!, quite a nice moment to take a walk in a park in Tokyo. After walking there for a couple of minutes this particular moment caught my attention, it's usual to see groups of elderly japanese gathering to practice their fishing skills, something not often seen in other countries. While observing them a question came into my thoughts, are they really trying to catch a fish or the purpose of their meeting is to share memories, knowledge and feelings? What they are doing remains a mistery for me.

@Jen: Thank you very much Jen!
Me gusta la foto, ya cuando llegamos a viejos tenemos todo el tiempo disponible para disfrutar lo que la naturaleza nos brinda. Tienes razon, en nuestros lares no disfrutamos de la pesca, pero si disfrutamos de ver hermosos amaneceres y atardeceres. Cada pais tiene sus momentos. El tropico es hermoso. Besos, mama

@DORIS: Gracias Mom, quiero ir a la playa!!!
En mi parecer esas hojas en el primer plano no tapan la foto solo le da mas ambiente... A mi me gusta mucho, me recordo a mucho a mi papa cuando pesca, aunque la verdad el lo hace solo, para estar con sus pensamientos

@Yael Lucas: Me alegro que te guste mucho esta foto y haya traido recuerdos agradables para ti, saludos a tu padre!
Really nice capture. I'm very impressed that image because this image is very Japanese fishing seen I love it. I think this fishing is Hera buna (kind of carp) fishing :-)

@H.O: Thank you for your kind comments and for the information H.O!
Oh fred... it looks like a painting! I like the distorsioned reflection of the people on the water and the sense of peace that you get from looking at it. I would definitely send this as a postcard. Good job!
