Lost and found...

A dull day's shooting, to be honest, but spiced-up with two lengthy conversations with total strangers: the first about fishing and photography; the second about starlings and photography. In between all that I did come across this scene on the seafront at Boscombe, Dorset.

From what I can see, some kind soul had placed two lost items in a conspicuous place on the promenade, giving the original owner(s) the opportunity to see, and reclaim their property. Unfortunately, both were the worse for wear; the phone having been subjected to sea water whilst the pen merely lost on the sandy beach. Neither seemed as they would ever perform to their original spec again.

After taking the shots it made me wonder just how long these two everyday items would have remained there for me to discover, had they been in serviceable condition.
