Off the west Kent coast at Botany Bay.

Very soothing image, Pete. Nice colours and comp. The distant buildings look perfectly exposed - just enough detail.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob. Wind turbines.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Very nice shot! I expected some turbines or electricity cables or so, but it took me several seconds before I saw them...
The colours are a bit.... retro.... PP, or is it close to reality? (Or both...?)

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rense. The colours are down to the PP I use to give a cross-process simulation.

I never realized there was a Botany Bay in England. I should have realized the one in Oz was named for one in the home country. After all, I grew up on Euston Street and a nearby town was named Flushing. These were actually named after similar place names in New York State, which were, of course, named after the places in England.

Lovely image Pete. Coming or going? Lovely assumption John

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Ivar.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent Pete. I like the quality of abstract emotions from what would usually convey a picturesque seascape. A fine touch of PP.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Julian.

I think they walked from Denmark!
