COASTAL VIEWPOINT

This is sort of a plain photo--and that's half of what makes it so great. Here is a woman in a plain white shirt, black nylon jogging pants, white tennis shoes. She has a matching wind breaker, because it's windy. And her purse. She wears a wedding ring. She's with her husband, no doubt, perhaps on vacation, or celebrating their anniversary. Has it been a few years since they met and married? She's put on a few pounds over the years (doesn't everyone), but she's feeling sexier than ever in her 30s. She keeps her public patch perfectly groomed into a rectangular strip. It was how all the Playboy models looked in the early 90s, when she was in college. Hard to believe that was more than 15 years ago... but she still keeps her hairs trimmed that way, and thinks it still looks pretty sexy, and knows it still turns her husband's head.

She's outdoors, but its not remote. She's in some wooden structure, perched on a coastal cliff, for tourists to look out. There's another viewpoint a hundred yards back. Many have come before, like the people in the background. Is that a golf course? The manicured lawn of a hotel? There's a group of people, strolling, taking in the sight of the ocean, and the sprit of the salty wind. Perhaps this couple was with the larger group, perhaps they walked up to this outlook. Were they thinking then of flashing? Were they trying to get a little distance from the group?

The woman set down her purse, stripped off her windbreaker, preparing to lift her shirt. But the green structure was only waist-high. The crowd was still in sight. If she pulled up her shirt, they others wouldn't be able to see her breasts, but, if looking that direction, would see the action of lifting the shirt and the camera flash. So instead, she pulled down her pants, just enough. Behind the wooden half-wall, no one would be any the wiser. They'd see her back, and the camera flash. It would look like any typical vacation snapshot.

Hurry... there's another couple, headed this way.

If they only knew.
