Michael, to reassure you, there is absolutely no oil on this surface. And I follow the environmental cleanup and the economic consequences of the BP disaster with much interest. I believe it will herald the end of BP as an entity. I think the world will continue to drill for oil deep under the ocean and bugger the consequences.
Julie you stopped by - thanks for that. But you mentioned you couldn't enlarge my photos. I have no idea how to do that. I just upload from my camera. Any hints? Thanks.
I hope you suceed with the raindrops this weekend. Its takes a bit of moving around the "drop" getting the right angle. You need to have some other blooms close by and be prepared for many digital photos heading to the recycle bin too. When you get a good one - crop the image. All the best :) Rosie, Centre of Interest photoblog
Rosie, I ALWAYS end up with images in the waste bin!! But I am determined to nail this on this occasion. Shall come back to you during my Sunday evening.
I just love the texture of the water on this picture. And the harmony of the colors blue/grey and orange is very zen... I like also the rupture with the trail of the boat...
I feel as though I'm writing in an old autograph book: "by hook or by crook I'll be first in this book!"
ReplyDeleteI love the greasy solidity of the water at this time of day, it aways makes me feel as though I could walk across it.
Sensational. (Literally)

Breath taking!
ReplyDeleteA stunning photograph Julie! I almost feel like I am there.
ReplyDeleteThis is a magical yet eerie quality that is very rare indeed. I must look again and again!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful, quiet and peaceful photo!
ReplyDeleteLike Clytie, I just had to look again and again. Stunning photo. Have a good weekend. Jo
ReplyDeleteDeep soft ripples of colour! This is magically mesmerising!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite striking. And, in the US it calls up images of the huge Gulf oil spill. Too sad.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful ripple of the smoothest waves. And what otherworldly light!
