Classic Boat Festival
Yesterday I went down to Victoria’s inner harbour to gawk at all the wooden boats on display at the Classic Boat Festival. Naturally I had my camera. But I kept on being distracted from the boats by their reflections. This shot being but one of several examples, others of which you will likely see as I process the images.
I like it that the specks of stuff on the water look like stars in an evening sky.

Great abstract … it is a photo to think about a little and to imagine the scene which is mirrored. Like it!

You can’t beat boat reflections for abstract interest. I’m a great fan of them.

Hi Patrick. I have a beautiful card of yours with water reflections! In fact, it should be considered part of the inspiration for my series form the boat festival.

This is an interesting departure for you! I like it quite a bit, and look forward to seeing what else you’ve got line up for us!

Hi Melinda. I guess it is a departure though it felt perfectly natural to take this shot. And to invert (flip) it. Perhaps its a good sign when a departure from the norm goes by unnoticed, by me.

Wow this is super! A wooden boat festival is one place you would have drag me away from. I think I would be in Heaven!

Hi David. I usually forget to go, hard as that is to admit. It is the long weekend, and there are always other priorities, even though I love wooden boats, and all that gleaming varnished mahogany, brass and chrome (as you will see in coming days), not to mention reflections.
