Ripples

[Pete Askew]

As the ferries work they way across the calm surface of Lake Maggiore, they create wonderful patterns in the water as the wash bounces off the stone lakeside at Arona.

They sure do create wonderful patternms in the water, Pete. And you've captured then here beautifully.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Pete, this is damned good, I'm sure many of us would have missed this for looking for 'other' beautiful shots. gives me a feeling of tranquility.....holiday brochure stuff..

 

[Glenn Clabo]

The softness of color...the oily texture of the water...really nice Pete.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thank you kindly all. If I can get packed and sorted in time I hope there is some wonderful mist on the water again this morning.

 

[Lesley Jones]

Um... that water is so sensual it almost belongs in the other category in here

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very beautiful. I can well imagine being there. Love the tones.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Love this Pete, more times than I remember rowing out as a child, sun not yet up and the sea being as it is there, a silence interrupted by the clink clunk of the rowlocks and small splash as the
oars pierce the water surface. Love the way noise travels over water in these conditions. Along with the colours in water as it is, have no boundaries. Superb image.

Pete always shows us why photography is so interesting. There are many ways to look at and capture a scene and Pete often shows us a different way of looking at something.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thank you all. Typically there was no mist this morning. Yesterday it was superb (but I only spotted it as I left for my meeting and so didn't have a camera) but today there was none except on the mountains. I'll just have to go back (I'm now in the lounge at the airport.).

 

[Vic Shaw]

nice tones, hope you had your waders on for this shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

It was shot in mid dive!

Thanks Vic.

 

[Beth Carter]

beautiful pete. love the colors and low view point over the water.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

As Glenn mentioned, the texture of the water is wonderful - so fluid, yet holding form

 

[Aldous Lau]

love the pattern and the colo on the water, nice shot Pete

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Aldous.

 

[Paul Lange]

I though I had commented on this already but it seems not. Great tones and colours and the texture of the water with all the ripples is wonderful.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks @Paul Lange . Nearly dropped you a line as I'm up in Stowmarket (actually staying in Haughly tonight) but I suddenly started running out of time and need to get back tomorrow evening and the meeting will end late Next time!

 

[Paul Lange]

No worries, maybe next time? Though Orford Ness is not the place to go on Mondays, the ferry doesn't run on Mondays so I discovered when I took the 2 hour drive there, on a Monday!
