Default Along the creek
I drive along a creek for about 10 miles on my way home each night. I decided to stop last night and see if I could find some fishermen.





I sure wish I hadn't cut his head off. I have one other shot of him with a head but you can't really make out the dog with him.


These fellas are fishing for gold. Some people do still find gold in this creek.

Even though you've cut off his head, I still love the 3rd image - nice work!

Very interesting set of photos, I didn't realize people still panned for gold, especially without beers at their sides.LOL. Nice, clear photos though.

Very nice set of pics. I wonder if they really find gold in this stream.

Thanks Krenka. I liked it because of his dog with him, I think. The pup ran up to me to be petted and then ran right back to dad.

Lots of people still pan for gold around here. Some with beer involved.

They very well can. I live in an area that was once considered the richest area of Colorado.
