What a wonderful, bright image.
So full of life yet so peaceful at the same time.

Wonderful colour and light and lovely composition.

This is such a great shot! Perfect title - the bow is facing away from the water as if to say "Well, it's time to move on to other things..."

Colors and clarity are outstanding. Excellent title for boat with worn out look. I can sympathize with that boat. Only trouble, boat can be restored. This one looks like it would just as soon spend it's days looking at the sea and listening to the water go lop, lop, lop.......... Very good post

Another fine shot Lyn. The strong oblique light and the warm colours of the wood of the boat work together very well, and the tree silhouettes provide a great counterpoint.

I have just got up after my short "Moeraki" to find this beautiful image. Great capture,Lyn - I like the way you have put the boat and the tree in the forefront. The blue sea and the hilly green coast look wonderful.

The lighting is so nice in this, Eve. I love the long shadows. As I read the commments, it is interesting to see the different things about our images that other people pick up on.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
