Description
A fishing pole leans against a wooden bench, waiting for its owner to return. Above, a blue sky holds a few puffy white clouds.
The pole fills the frame diagonally, with its grip at the bottom left and its top in the top right corner. Its angle counters the other lines of the photograph, a diagonal among verticals and horizontals. The butt section is black, with two lighter stripes centered around the reel attachment. The reel is a mix of black and red. Halfway up the pole, where the pieces hook together, is a red stripe. Four red ferules are spaced along th pole, up to the tip. Red fishing line completes the equipment.
Beside the pole, placed squarely in the center of the bench, is a red and tan plastic tackle box with a black handle.
The bench is made of unpainted lumber, as is the dock is sits on. The weathered wooden pieces are parallel and fitted close together, with good, solid construction. The grain shows, along with a few knotholes. Along the edge of the dock is a wooden railing, with vertical posts and widely spaced cross pieces, allowing the calm, blue water to show.
Above all of the angular, geometric lines is a clear blue sky, with decidedly non-geometric clouds.
All in all, the scene invites the viewer to enter into the relaxation of the surroundings -- throw out a line, catch some dinner, or just sit for a spell.
