Thetis Lake VII
This is another shot taken of Thetis Lake on a beautiful morning in mid-January.
I think I like the original framing above better than the crop below. It seems to have a greater sense of depth.
Others in the series from this walk can be found here.

BTW – I agree with your assessment. The uncropped frame is more appealing.

I once read somewhere that someone had done a psycho-cultural analysis of the artwork of First Nations people in the Northwest and determined that the uncanny symmetry it displays (example: turn a totem on its side) is actually the same symmetry as that displayed in your photos, here.
Try it; it’s really similar.
I love this subject matter. Please continue.

Hi Sam – thanks for the comment. There are some fascinating reflections – I have seen photographers turn them on edge and the bilateral symmetry can be very evocative of some of the poles and other bilaterally symmetrical art from the Northwest Coast.

What a beautiful spot, Mr E. Thanks for all the “likes” on my blog today, by the way.

And thank you Katherine for all the likes. My Australian views are way up, thanks to you and my mother (she is visiting her sister near Bullengarook).
I am very far behind on viewing other people’s blogs, and finally got back to what I consider your “other” blog.

Not all that far from where my Dad grew up. So you have an Aussie aunty? What fun! Have you ever been to Oz, Mr E? I think Bullengarook is probably a very quiet area, I know Bacchus Marsh which is close by from my childhood. Nothing much there from memory but the countryside in Victoria, especially at this time of year is always beautiful.

Hi Katherine – my mum’s sister married an Australian and has lived there for about 45 years or so. I haven’t been to visit, but wish that had been possible. From everything I have seen of their area, it is beautiful – they have a large garden that consumes a lot of their time.

Maybe one day and you can visit me and my family, too.

Hi Katherine, I see I gave a reply here for a post elsewhere. So I moved that one. Sorry for the confusion. It would be lovely to visit Australia. My aunt is elderly and unable to travel now so I really should try to get there, but cost is a big hurdle. If I do get there, I will for sure be looking you up as well!

Look me up and bring your family! We have beds. Yes the cost is horrendous so you need to stay a good month to make the most of it. I hope you do get to see her at some point.
