While still waiting for the sun to rise and watching the people enjoying the beach, I was attracted to this very serene scene of a lone fisherman on his banca calmly paddling his way at some distance from shore. The scene is a very soothing one :)

Early morning, before the sun rise, is the best moment to fish. This is what my grandfather told me.

So that is the reason why fisherman go out to sea very early :)

@sunrisefan Yes, the water is more calm, the fish are not scared.

@LadyDuck And it's easier to see them in calm and clear waters.

The sea always gives us a feeling of serenity whenever we just gaze at it. Fishermen always go to the sea to fish in the early morning. It's the best time to catch fish as it is said by fishermen.

@sunrisefan Of course. Did you buy fish from them, or they were just fishing for their hobbies?

@SIMPLYD No I don't buy fish from the fishermen there. I think some of them fish for their consumption and others fish to sell their catch.

My dad loved to take his canoe out very early in the morning... he must have felt the same way!!

Canoeing on such calm waters must be very soothing and you have such a sense of peace. Your dad must have really enjoyed it.

It is a really lovely scene. I hope the fisherman is able to enjoy his time out there and realises how privileged he is.

Thanks, Ms. Judy. I guess not. Do you remember people thinking that the grass is always greener at the other side of the fence? Probably he thinks it's a job he must do to survive and not to enjoy. On the other hand, people looking at him would probably think he's having a great time.

@sunrisefan When Vince was in Nepal he was always marvelling at the great mountains so close to where people were living. They looked out on magnificent mountains but because they saw them every day, the locals probably didn't pay much attention to them.

@JudyEv Indeed - when you see something over and over everyday, it become ordinary. In my case, however, I've been going to the seaside almost every day to watch and take photos of the sunrise after my walk at the ovals but I never got tired or bored of it. Each day has always been unique and distinct from each other. I don't even care if people seeing the photos on my social media account. What's more important to me is I'm happy with what I'm doing :)

The photo is very nice. It seems the serene view reminds us how the earth looks like as stated in the Holy Bible in GENESIS when the earth was so young and people were few. There is complete peace and freedom shown in this picture. As long as sun not yet rising, people are kept making the world in serene and when sun rises, so people too rise making the world chaotic again. Survival is needed:" Survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit". This is the picture this time of the entire world.
