Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / March 2007Unexpected guest at beach wedding
You never know what's going to happen at a beach wedding. Rain, wind, King tides ...you name it, it can happen when you plan a year in advance for an outdoor event. This guest popped in out of the blue - so to speak! http://www.ryadia.com/justlooking.htm Douglas > You never know what's going to happen at a beach wedding.

I do feel sorry for you. Sure rain, wind & king tides could ruin your wedding plans (although king tides are predicted well in advance).. but a sea eagle? If that's in the same league as the others, you have troubles! > You never know what's going to happen at a beach wedding.

An beach bird at a beach wedding! : Who-da thunk it? :) So let's get this straight... Mark has come up with an alternative picture to just about everything anyone posts... Today, unable to find an Australian Sea Eagle to post, he resorts sarcasm... Good work Mark! Douglas >>> You never know what's going to happen at a beach wedding.

Not wanting to disappoint him, I was reminded of a time when I was on the beach shooting birds and what not when all of a sudden, a wedding broke out! http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/35199351 > Annika1980 wrote: > Not wanting to disappoint him, I was reminded of a time when I was on > the beach shooting birds and what not when all of a sudden, a wedding > broke out!

You can hardly go to the beach here without running into a wedding. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901038/original http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901066/original Scott > You can hardly go to the beach here without running into a wedding.http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901038/originalhttp://www.pbase.com/konas cott/image/75901066/original Nice pics, but where are the kite surfers? > > You can hardly go to the beach here without running into a wedding.http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901038/originalhttp://www.pbas... > > Nice pics, but where are the kite surfers? Naw, you can't fool me, if I put up my good wedding photos that have the kite surfers in them someone will steal them. Scott >http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901066/original At least all but the one guy in the pink aloha shirt got the shoes right. Footwear is the best untold story of Hawaii.

You got to figure he is from the mainland. Scott >You got to figure he is from the mainland. LOL No doubt. Although some of the people still had their sandals on... Part of a song I wrote about missing Hawaii, twisting the words of "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" by Woody Guthrie: These twenty dollar shoes they hurt my feet. Gimme a two dollar sandal in the heat. Kick 'em right off on the beach, Lord. Lord. I ain't gonna be treated this a way. I don't think my typical Maine audience really appreciates it. Cheers, DuncanC > >You got to figure he is from the mainland. > > LOL No doubt. Although some of the people still had their sandals > on... But here we call them slippers not sandals. Inside very few people will wear anything on their feet. When someone throws a party there will be a huge bunch of slippers at their front door, I should really get a photo of that since it is something you don't seem much other places. Scott >>> You got to figure he is from the mainland. >> >> LOL No doubt. Although some of the people still had their sandals >> on... > > But here we call them slippers not sandals. "rubbah slippah" I first saw them on those Hawai'i boys in 1956. They were symmetrical (either slipper on either foot) and were cast with a surface that represented original wrapped/woven straw. Available in three colors, all somewhat "dusty": red, blue, green. The blue were most desirable. At that time they were popularly "go-aheads"; esoterically, "gaita". Women (I never saw a man do it in the USA) wore them with "tabi", a kind of stocking with separate big-toe sack for the between-the-toes sandal upper.

I remember the pile very well. It's been 30 years but in the summer I still don't wear anything on my feet indoors, and only slippahs outdoors. I can't stand to wear shoes any more than necessary. Permanently spoiled. Cheers, DuncanC >>> You got to figure he is from the mainland. >> LOL No doubt.

Yeah, and around where I grew up, they're "jesus wejuns". >> http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/75901066/original > > At least all but the one guy in the pink aloha shirt got the shoes > right. Footwear is the best untold story of Hawaii. I was looking at those feets when I thought, "Maybe we ought to pack up and move to Hawai'i". I was a Hawai'i nut before going through Basic Training with a Flight of boys who enlisted there, and was even more a fan of the people and culture after that. I actually went barefoot when not in school until I was about 15 years old. Not an easy feat, even though the Los Angeles area is "temperate". I always look forward to Scott's pictures.

There's just no sense in tryin' to understand him sometimes... On the other hand... There was nothing wrong with his OP...so if I was rude...I'm sorry about that, Doug.

I just don't know how you cope with all those unexpected king tides. What about sunsets, they must really cause some unexpected problems. As to the bird, well i can only surmise that someone here sent it along to ruin your day. Bastards! >>You never know what's going to happen at a beach wedding.

You can't be too careful with those unexpected tides as the good folk at the Wujal Wujal [near Bloomfield in FNQ] found some years ago. They parked the community 'dozer in the creek while they went off for a "feed" and it was submerged when the tide came in unexpectedly. :-) Cheers, Phred.
