Odd Shot Monday prompt
~
A bunch of guys in the water is
Not so odd
Unless ~
They're not swimming!
~
Most of these guys are wearing
Black jackets with
Gold stripes on
The sleeves
~
Half are wearing white
Shorts?
Underpants?
And the others wear
Black
(A football team
I don't know about?)
~
Some are clearly
Shivering and
Shivering with
Arms tightly folded
~
And I don't dare
Get a close up shot!
~
I too am shivering AND
Giggling
Uncontrollably ~
(It is still winter in Australia)
What if they see me?
~
So
The best pic has
A beach wall between
Me and them
(In case I need to duck quickly)
~
And the next best shot is
Between the pylons of
The pier
(Peek-a-boo!)
~
All the other shots ~
Especially the attempted
ZOOMS ~ are
A quivering
(My quivering)
Mess
~
P.S. But I did get one classic shot that I'm keeping for Ruby Tuesday (tomorrow!)
Watch this blog!

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Particularly odd for many of us because, ass you are shivering there in the southern hemisphere, it is reaching for 105ยบ F. here.
Your mailbox shot could have been an Odd Shot as well.
That is very odd shot, why are they in there? They just don't seem to have any fun...
hilarious - have you been peeking!!!
(the tree at the restaurant was by the beach - in the summer, all good eateries are outdoors in crete!)
Gamma, thanks for your comment on Pink Sat. I came over to say hello and was mesmerized by your shot of the men in the water. Is it a dare??? Great peeking for this shot. Smile.

nice pic :D...but maybe I'll not join for the freezing part
the beach so wonderful and they enjoyed and had fun...
Gemma,
I like the light mood behind the caturing of this shots, and the feeling of awkwardness in the thought of "what if I would be caught, what would they think of me?"
This is voyuerism with mild intentions and done for a different reason but you get a semilar rush of blood and excitement - but the bad news is, if you got caught, you'll experience the same amount embarassment. But that's the fun of it: the taking of the stolen shots and getting away with it.
You somehow succeed and achieved all the fun in the process as evident in your written piece from the experience. The words actually are more exciting than the shots.
I wish you well.

let me invite you to read the poem:

posted in my web nook. You were one of the people in my thoughts when I wrote it.
Bbbrrrrrr.... shivering simply staring at them :P
Happy Monday Gemma!
great peek n click!
HAHA! Bet they didn't know they would soon be on the internet! Drop by and see my odd shot!
Looks like they testing the water to see if it cold enough to emulate a British Xmas swim... or something.
Odd.
Indeed an interesting shot...around these parts, when men stand together in the Mighty Mississippi, only waist deep, you always know what they're doing...beer drinking is the culpret, a little conversation, a little pee...LOL, boys!

Some people like to torture themselves!
Maybe they are like the group in NYC called The Polar Bear Club .. they take a dip in the frigid Atlantic every New Year's Day ..
:-Daryl
Odd yes, but I'm with Daryl. Maybe they are like the Polar Bears Club.
Mine is HERE
Boy that is odd but sure would love to know why they are in there.
What can I say, it made me smile!
A very odd shot.
How very strange! Maybe they were overheated?
What great voyeuristic shots! LOL! Thank you for the laugh, Gemma, you made my day.
This is great! Made me laugh! It must be some wacky male bonding ritual. No doubt a bunch of crazy footy players ;)
It doesnt look that odd as it sounds afte reading about it.
That's what I call freezing fun.
Very interesting photos.
