The infinite Indian Ocean

The infinite Indian Ocean
Part of my 2014 collection.
Taken from on-board the P&O Aurora crossing from Asia to Africa. I waited for some time hoping that the light would still be on the sea horizon for this boat to enter it. The late day sky with this dark sea combined in the end to make this.

Enjoy large

I reckoned I was really lucky with that Eva, but as you know, we sometimes help luck along -in this case by a rather long wait. Very happy that you approved my friend.

Moody or what? The sky is just amazing.........and threatening. The light along the horizon is gorgeous and waiting for the ship to hit the light reflected on the water was a masterstroke Herb!

The really dark and foreboding sea makes the shot really special..............it adds a sense of menace to the whole image.

Outstanding..!!

Hi Keith - almost wanted to put this in my 'Moody landscape' album after seeing your comment before realising it was not a landscape! Sometimes we have a feel as to what will make a picture. The chance of that small very distinctive boat being silhouetted in that late shaft of horizon sunlight was small, but perseverance paid off. Very happy that you too approved of this.
Cheers, Herb

Thanks Rosa, yes a simplistic scene with a bit of clout. So glad it worked for you too.

The tiny boat just emphasizes the vastness of the ocean. Great shot!

Thanks for this my friend. You are quite right about that boat . Sorry for delay in noticing your comment. - Always a great pity that Ipernity do not do like Panoramio did - sending us emails with a list of all recent comments to our pictures, no matter how long that picture has been there.

Keep well. Herb
