Anyone for a sail?

Great view!

Thanks so much my friend.

Cheers, Herb

Hopefully it was "then again..." Herb ;-)) The boat is in a beautiful setting and quite content to stay there a while I think!

Indeed it was Rosa. I doubt that this boat was very sea-worthy but its position here along wth its colour suited me well. As you say, a great place to linger.

Cheers, Herb

Beautiful Image Herb your footprints on the sands ??.

I think not Toz. Perhaps the owner of this boat? Glad you like it.

Cheers, Herb

I like to sit there...and have a Guinness :-)

A man after my own heart - however Guinness must really be pored and drank fresh from the cask - not much of that here. I did have a pint or two elsewhere though!

Cheers, Herb

Très belle image !!

Thank you Ghislaine, Alwals good for you to enjoy my images here.

Regards, Herb

Better to stick to dry land !!!! but it makes a great photographic subject

Thanks Peter. I am not really a little sailor, I have sailed a little dingy, rowing boats and leisure craft on the Norfolk Broads though, and done a lot of cruising, so perhaps I am but I was not tempted by this boat. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Herb

Oh, what a little nice beach, Herb, the sand seems very soft. The boat... not my kind of thing,I need something a bit larger and stable under my feet :-)

The sand was like silk Daniela. Beautiful pure white sand that was a pleasure to walk over and see. The sea however was much too cold as was the air temperature to venture in. The boat -ah well, in perfect conditions and with permission I might have been tempted.

Cheers, Herb

great find and compo, the boat in first plane adds value to the perspective, it´s colours highlight in the frame

Thank you Marion. I thought it a great find too. This little bay was in fact on private land which I quietly roamed over. Glad you liked my composition.

Regards, Herb

Magical shot, Herb!

Another coast shot to please you Andy. I know that you are into there too.

Cheers, Herb

Wonderful composition Herb.
Congrats on Explore.

Cheers Jaap. I never really know when my photos reach 'Explore' so I am indebted. Glad you enjoyed it.

Regards, Herb

What a joy to explore small beaches like this one! I'd be content just to walk around... A beautifully composed photo.

It was indeed a joy my friend. This part of the world was full of little coves and beaches like this and so 'unfortunately' you might have to witness more from me here :)

Cheers, Herb

Nothing that a lick of paint and some elbow grease wouldn't fix............

Lovely composition Herb...........the placement of the boat in the frame is spot-on. It looks beautiful there.

Thanks Keith for another spot-on comment. I must admit a boat such as this always adds to a scene, especially one so idyllic as this.

Regards, Herb

Superb composition Herb!

Glad you think so Maggs. Cheers for another visit. ~ Herb

Hi Herb,

You have got this composition spot on. The boat is right in the middle of the wide sweeping curve made by the two sides of the inlet, and looks ready to sail off there!

Best Wishes
Peter

Thanks for this observation Peter. I could see this little bay from our cottage window and I sometimes saw a row-boat with someone fishing from it. I could never tell if this was that same boat. Glad you enjoyed it.

Regards, Herb

Herb I will pass on that looks to have seen better days but nice aspect.

Ah yes Steve, I would think you are right to pass on the ride. Glad you liked the pic though.

Regards, Herb

... poignant (abandoned?) boat in the foreground, but then the waterway stretches away into the distance: nice ...

Nice to see you here again Wally. Not quite abandoned as this little bay was in fact quite private therefore the boat belonging to the nearby landowning farm? Glad you liked the shot though.

Cheers, Herb
