Shoot-out: Looking up and looking down.

Thanks for dropping by. Here are a few of my favorite "looking up" and "looking down" shots from my stash. This could be a different interpretation than some expect. It was said, a long time ago, "There are no rules!"
*

Looking up can be memorable.
*

Looking down the backsides of my eyelids.
*


Looking upstream.
*

Looking downstream.
*

Definitely, looking down!
*

Looking up! Eyes wide open!
*

Looking up to a lifetime of angling.
*

Double barreled looking up.
*

My little buddy, looking up.

*

Looking further downstream, for a spot to fish.
*

Things are, definitely, looking up!
*

Looking down at Sockeye Salmon, all around.
*

We caught a few Halibut to look up to!
*

Looking "down the road" to a feast on Halibut.
Looking forward to taking more shots like these!
Look me up! We'll wet a line, together.
Thanks for stopping by.

    GORDON. I have never seen such BIG fish!! I always enjoy visiting you. Something special came over me as I looked at the photos of the many fishing in the streams. Those shots just fill me up with appreciation for some reason...they're beautiful to me.

    Love to you.

    Enjoy your weekend :)

    This was awesome! I'm wondering how you ever got them home! And the napping fisherman cracked me up!

    I love halibut fish but of course I don't fish them, just buy them from the market!
    That first photo is simply awesome.

    The photos of all the fly fishermen reminds me of A River Runs Through It. Those are amazing photos and you captured such a great mood. It evokes perseverence and patience. Love them.

    Protomarcus, who hunted with a club, thinks there is definitely something fishy going on here...And looking at all the folks in the river, I'm surprised the fish didn't knock themselves out by running into knees.

    Hi Gordon,

    You need a "man" size chilly bin with your luck. Next time you go, take me.

    I like the photo of you lying on your back side. I too was at a waterfall, and was lying at a waterhole when my sister secretly snapped my photo.

    Woah...I had NO idea that Halibut were that big. How do you even catch one of those?! I'm jealous of you nap picture...I could so use one of those today! Happy Friday :)

    Looking downstream there are more fishermen than fish. If the fishes were fishing (or should that be "manning") what a catch they'd have!

    Love the waterfall but whatever happened to angling as a way of finding some peace and quiet? I've never seen so many fisherman together.
