Impounded water

Effective intersection of the horizontal ripples and the vertical grasses. The fallen tree occupies the top left corner as a strong counterpoint. I love the dark shadows underneath. The almost monochromic presentation of the scene conveys the desolation of December: the moistness, the semi-permanent darkness, the sleep.

Thank you. After taking many photographs from the banks of the reservoir, this one survived the subsequent cull. I couldn’t describe to myself why I felt it worth saving, but your appreciation of it helps me understand it a little better.

Excellemment partagée avec cette magnifique clarté et réflexion. l'avant plan herbivore enjolive la prise de vue.
Bonne et agréable fin de semaine paisible et salutaire.

Thanks, Malik; your visits are always a pleasure.

very zen

Wish you a peaceful weekend!

Many thanks, Annemarie; my mind is naturally empty, most of the time.

Beautiful shot!

A special photograph Steve. Well done.

Frank! Good to see you visit. I shall hurry to your photo stream. I hope there’s something there to see!

I think you found it Steve. Yes, I stop by to visit when I can. Going through the tail end of a health setback.

...impounded eyes...moved by sadness...

love it too much
