Best Viewed larger STRAIGHT FROM THE CAMERA / I took this image many years ago in Cape Cod, Mass. with one of my very first cameras that I wanted to share with you. / It was about 5am on a cool day in 1979. I just turned 20 yrs. old and on my own when I desided to take my very first vacation with a friend of mine. We went for 9 days on 200 dollars. each….lol.. B&B all the way. I think the last two nights were camping in the woods under a leantwo… / This image was a great reminder of the trip as I think back now on how Eileen and I had the time of our life.. the fun we had didn’t cost much, just silly girlfriend stuff. / Those were the days. / That was the last trip I would take with her. The next Christmas eve, she was to pick up a friend at the airport who was coming in from out of town and died in a car accident on the way… / . /

Boats at Lake Windermere in the lake district, Cumbria, with a moody HDR enhanced sky. Canon EOS 30D / F11 / ISO 400 / 35mm equivalent – 17mm / 1/125s

Derwent Water by tommysphotos

Walking around Keswick in the Lake District (Cumbria) we stumbled upon Derwent Water. I could not get my camera out of my bag quick enough as if the scene would disappear before I got my pictures. Luckily it did not and I got a few pictures of which this is the best. Although I do have photoshop all I have done on this picture is a slight adjustment on levels and a bit of unsharp mask.
Church and Harbour by tomg

Fishing boats moored in the harbour in front of the church of Agios Nikolaos (built in 1861) in the village of Nimborio on the Greek Island of Halki. The church has the highest bell tower in the Dodecanese. Halki is a small yet very charming island in the Dodecanese that is situated opposite the west coast of Rhodes. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Dynamic-Photo HDR. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at Halki or Greece or Eastern Meditteranean.

River scene. by elphonline

A typical Murray river scene at Murray Bridge, S.A. Still plenty of water for water sports and house-boating. An ideal print or souvenir to decorate a shack or houseboat on the Murray River.
Along the river. by elphonline

Whilst puttering up the river at Murray bridge we saw many river boats at various stages of repair. Some were stranded and forgotten about, others hold a lifelong ambition to finish and live on the river. Some lost in the mammoth task, too time consuming and costly, a neverending story , but something to do.
Quiet Retirement by Dikkidee

The Flying Cloud by yimusjane

Acrylic on canvas. The Flying Cloud was another painting I did for introducing a chapter in a school textbook. The caption was depiction of the fastest of all the sailing vessels…..the clipper ships. The greatest of these ships were built around 1850. They were slender and pointed, with billowing sails, and designed especially for speed.
