One of the most bizarre sites I have ever seen occurred last August when I was on my traditional fishing holiday in Scotland . While having a particularly slow day in the fishing department my heart suddenly missed a beat at what was going on a short distance away . On the sidewalk of the sea bridge I was fishing off was a remarkable young Japanese woman . She was in her prime , say mid twenty something . She wore a pale blue short thin dress that blew up in the wind as cars drove by . She leapt and erratically bounced around taking photographs of herself using the Eileen Donnan castle as a back drop . She was unusually for a woman so attractive on her own with a camera set on a tri-pod . Traffic slowed to watch her dream like performance . She was an archetype alright . She was putting on a strange erotic one woman show . This woman was not a tart.
Now what happened next really excited me in the esoteric sense . It was a high tide , a very high tide and she walked out on a small peninsular of land . Suddenly the sun came out lighting the grassy slither of land she stood on in a beautiful emerald green shimmer as she continued to jump and leap in the air taking photos of her self mid air . Just picture that scene ! The whole spectacle was a performance .
Finally she walked back towards me on the bridge , crossing purposefully to my side and heading right for me . I panicked , feeling quite guilty at the amount of time i,d spent watching her . As she passed I through awkwardness forced eye contact . She gave me a smile and clip cloped away in her high heels .
Again my perception is everything but that event was more than the sum of its parts . And of course it was a full moon !!! Why am I tonight feeling so uneasy then ? The feeling of awe at having been lucky enough to have this woman for a short time in my sphere still excites me looking back tonight......
Nice photograph.
