House Boat - Valentine NSW

Thank you for commenting on this one … I just couldn’t resist trying to capture the moment!♥

Thanks Lianne for the comment, I always love your input. The mast is actually a TV aerial on top of one of the waterfront houses – we’re on the hill above looking down on the lake and this is what I get to wake up to most days … its so hard to put up with …LOL!♥

The original shot showed the roofs and a whole lot of clutter, so I zoomed in and cropped them out but short of photoshopping the antenna out, I thought it was interesting and so left it there!♥

Thanks Jade. Believe it or not … we have lived on the lake (or on the hill looking over it) for almost 40 years but have never owned a boat. I have seen too many people buy boats, like the many parked near us that are used only occasionally or never … one day I hope we will hire a houseboat though and do the whole lake over a weekend – it would be great!♥

Thanks Jan – the morning started over with no colour and then changed to this – it was a mad dash to capture it before it faded!♥

Thanks Sonia. We live on the hill looking over the lake but this houseboat is something I see daily. The original image was more distant with a lot of clutter … I have zoomed in and cropped the junk out of the image!♥

Sorry Kathy … I missed your comment earlier … thank you so much!♥

Hi Paul … you’ve been quiet! Thanks for the comment … the lighting was something special on this one!♥

Thanks Terry … we overlook this view from the hill above the lake. I have zoomed in on this scene and cropped the rubbish out of the original image … but I do agree, I never get sick of looking at the lake♥

Thanks Helen for the comment and especially for the favourite. I just love this type of light on the lake … it such a golden glow♥

Thanks Anna … we do take the lake for granted but every now and then something special jumps right out at me to remind me how lucky I am to witness its many moods each day!♥

Thank you Sue – this was the best and clearest I’ve seen from our house ever! The light certainly helped a lot!♥

Thanks Michael and yes that is a kookaburra and a galah … I zoomed in on the original image to cut out some clutter of house tops etc and actually thought of photo shopping this antenna out but decided it was truly aussie … and so it stayed!♥

Thank you Judy for your enthusiastic response to this one … to be able to cruise around the lake in this light, pull up anchor when you want and nestle in a quite bay each night … that would be peace and tranquility!♥

Thank you Sandra for this feature and especially to George … I’ll head over there now to thank him personally. This is a great buzz!♥

Hi Peter and yes I am from Valentine ..,. and very lucky at that. John’s work is incredible … he is so talented and deserves recognition for his talent – thanks for stopping by!♥

Thank you Lyn, especially for the ‘wow’ ... I always love a wow!♥

Thank you Scott for commenting! I could have taken this same image today as the lake was so still!♥

Thanks Mandy to you and the group for featuring this one … it is always a great feeling!♥

Thank you so much for commenting … the colours were magic on this occasion!♥

Thanks for the comment sweetie!! and the favourite too. You could always stand on your head to look at it I suppose … now that would make a great shot … LOL!♥

Funny lady!!! Don’t hurt your neck now!♥

Thank you Hans for the comment and I’m so pleased you liked it♥

Thanks Tracy … I look at this houseboat every day from my window on the hill above and I love to watch the moods of the lake and how it changes the look of this boat … this was an exceptionally still morning with the sun’s first light shining directly onto it♥
