Sunset Fishing

Two of my favorite things in life are sunsets and fishing. That’s mostly why this photo makes me happy. The time around sunset and the sunset itself both make me feel peaceful and contemplative. Fishing, especially with artificial bait like the jig bait shown here, is very meditative for me because of the repetitive casting and reeling. Of course, no two casts or subsequent reel-ins are alike. Thus, trying to work the bait back in with maximum effect after deciding on the perfect splashdown spot for it, gives a kind of perfect distracted focus. I mean perfect for meditation, self-refection, relaxation, or anything that helps you find peace of mind. The pic is unfiltered, as usual – just like life.
