    This is stunning. Love the way you have composed this with the pontoon in the middle of the mountain reflections.

  • aroha replied

    Thanks John :) the pontoon is actually only a few feet off shore, it looks like it’s right in the middle of the lake here! but if i didn’t put it in the middle it disappeared in the reflections, so a bit of artistic licence needed!

    Wow Aroha, like the wee tremor in the reflections, conveys the time of year. How you got the cluster of misty clouds to turnup beats me! Stirrings in the Angelus Basin? On New Years day, 2008, I arrived to vision of 100’s of people here!!!!! ...Robin..

  • aroha replied

    well I don’t want to play ‘my dad’s bigger than your dad’ but.. I’m going to anyway!! We’ve had hurricane force winds, floods, no power, and worse still – hardly any water, I can’t even take a shower! booo

    Lovely.

    You couldn’t have composed that any better. It’s almost symmetrical, and you know what symmetry does to human brains. They say people with vertically symmetrical faces are the most attractive. It’s to do with a chemical reaction in the brain or something. Science ‘n all that.

    Anyways, it makes perfect sense that the same chemical reaction can be induced by a picture with symmetrical attributes. Well, it makes sense to me at least. And that’s all that matters. To me.

    Nice.
