Dying flowers

Some flowers, now getting near the end of their best period. I liked the murky water and view through the glass. Quite nice, muted colours and shapes.

Bridge

Taken in Cambridge last winter, I loved the soft early evening light on the brick and water.

Two different watery images

Last two from me for today (note: I worked on about 8 images quickly last night and wrote the descriptions on a Word file in about 40 mins total, which makes uploading the work of minutes. It's been a quiet day today...)



The first image is from or near Crystal Crescent Beach, outside Halifax. I was drawn to the snaking water inlet, and the make-shift bridge. Much better in mono than colour. I applied a wee blur to the sky and adjusted levels etc to get the finished effect.



The second image was taken while Damian, Sue, Kate and I were canoeing and camping in Keji National Park, Nova Scotia. Quite misty/foggy, giving a minimalistic feel to the whole scene. Included the near reeds (or whatever they are) and the distant lone rock coming out of the mists.

Boats on calm water

I shot this photo last year while on 'retreat'. What attracted me was the deep green of the water and the contrast with the white boat. It was a very peaceful scene. The water was incredibly still with some great reflections.

This boat was shot on the same morning. Here the contrast of the bright colours with the still light grey water and the reflection was what attracted me.
