Night Fishing

Can you see me here?
Sat below the harbour wall,
Fishing in the dark.

One of the joys of night photography is that the dark obscures the distracting elements. Normally the subject of an image occupies a prominent place, but this guy is fairly well hidden.

And now a small rant. Why does WordPress insist on trying to correct my English ‘harbour’ to an American spelling? And (here is the rant) the American version makes no sense. I know Merriam and Webster simplified the spelling but why drop the ‘u’? They still pronounce it as ‘harbur’ not as ‘harbore’, so logically you drop the ‘o’ if you want to simplify, not the ‘u’. Rant over.
