North Berwick is a beautiful costal town nearby Edinburgh.  I had gone there for the day to take some sea and sand shots and enjoy the outdoor air.  As I arrived on the beach a group of divers were emerging from the water with a fantastic orange speed boat being pulled by a little girl.  Being a little girl, she was too shy to be photographed and I reckoned the day was over until I spotted this chap calmly reading his paper on the sea wall above.  Thankfully he was happy enough to have his shot taken (though a little surprised - "me, are you sure?") and managed to keep a straight face as I waded out tripod and all (and suede shoes) into the sea beneath him.
