This is taken in a small shipyard at ´Göta Kanal`, a canal built between the two largest lakes in Sweden, ´Vänern` and ´Vättern`. This small, very old, shipyard is renovated and in use. There are some very old boats here for restoration.

Wow! I really like this shot. It looks like a beautiful day to be out boating. The boat with the tarp over the top, looks like a small version of Noah's Ark. LOL. Just a great picture, with lots of color. Nice Susanne.

I think the sky has been beautiful all over the world the last few days. It's been so blue and full of fluffy clouds. I like this scene with the lake, boats and sky. The reflections are really good. Nice post Susanne. Have a good weekend.

Beautiful, placid lake. I love the reflection of the trees against the water. Looks like a peaceful and inviting place to spend the day. The clarity of this shot is excellent, as well as your positioning of the image. Nicely done. :) Thanks for the bit of history too.

Well, I'm glad to see blue skies anytime...even if you had snow on this one I'd be glad!! Yup, it snowed again today. Someone is playing an extended game of April Fool's on us, I think.

Love the water's color along with the other soft elements..nicely done.

Thanks for the reminder of how beautiful your homeland is. The wife and I passed through in 1994 on our way back to Germany from Finland and again during a Baltic cruise in 2000.

Wonderful job.

Not the boats but the lovely sky and the green around the water are what catches your eye here. Very nice image, Susanne.

Yes, I love the mood of this waterway, Susanne. It would be good to travel slowly just round that bend there... Tommy

That water's so smooth it's almost metallic. Beautiful sky too and I really like the touch of red on the roof. Nice shot Susanne.
