  3. Me too, I'dkeep staring at the amazing scenery.
    I love to cuddle on my couch with a few cushions around me, and a hot cup of coffee and an interesting book.
    A wonderful photo.
    I couldnt get anyone reading, but a bookstall. Mine will be up in a couple of hours.
    Happy Theme Day.

  7. Wonderful scenery for your post. This says a lot about the power of a book (exhibition catalogue in this case) to be able to retain one's attention with such a beautiful view.

  8. This is a creative and unique post for theme day. What's a book without a reader, and how can you read a laptop in that spot?!

  9. Wow, what a great spot for reading and just taking in the view.

  10. I wondered what you were going to choose but wouldn't have guessed this. Good choice and great shot.

  11. Well snap, Sally - we've both chosen someone reading by the sea, but I have to say your scene is considerably more spectacular. Beautiful scenery and shows so well how local people just live their lives within it - visitors wouldn't read perhaps but of course a local would. Superb!

  13. I guess he's just having a break before work begins for the day, and as Jilly says, setting like this are just normal life to many a Sydney-sider!

  14. Nice shot for theme day. I like that kind of atmosphere.

    I forgot it was theme day. Duh. So I found a few of the books I wrote and posted pictures of them. A kind of collage of my stuff.

  17. Great shot and interpretation of theme day (and wonderful series too). When I saw this on the portal I thought, on no, Sally forgot about theme day because I couldn't see the reader in the corner. Nice one.

  18. Wonderful photo for theme day! I'd love to be reading in a spot this beautiful — but half of the time, I'd just be staring at that magnificent view! Happens to me a lot when we go to the beach. :D

  19. Reading does not mean you have to be inside!!!
    Although, I must say with such a view I would be a "Little" distracted!!

  20. Lovely place to read a book.

    Happy theme day, Sally!

  21. Lovey shot Sally. The guy must be enjoying reading in the morning with fresh sea breeze. Which beach was that taken at?

    Kind regards

  25. When I photograph something I really like it's all I want to post. The series is really impressive. Thanks for sharing.

  27. I love to sit and read near the shore. . . .Going to see our kid in Florida in a few weeks, and I plan to do just that.

  28. if only i had a quiet moment to read like this...

  29. I love this photo - when the book is more alluring than the gorgeous site in front of the person. I often think I should be bringing a chair & book when I go out to take pictures along the coast.
