Afternoon walk

Posted by NZ-Photo (Paris, France) on 11 January 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Here's one of my fav of the moment.
Not really perfect as technically speaking, like the too close alignement of the boat and the island in the back, but i do love this stolen moment.

It was taken on Khao Sam Roy Yot beach near Pranburi, just 30 mins south of famous Hua Hin, Siam Gulf of Thailand.
The spot is great with small rough cut mounts (Khao SamRoy Yot meaning "300 heads mountains") along Birman border, falling to the sea on the opposite side, no huge cities around but Hua Hin.

On another awful rainy afternoon (i did never have a so horrible weather during 3 consecutive weeks in the land of smile), a mother and daughter were peacefully walking on the beach whatever the weather. Usually in this period, umbrellas are used against sun, not rain...

I love her hand slightly laid on her daughter shoulder and the whole atmosphere of the scene.
I wish i had seen them a bit earlier to be just less behind before shooting...
