    Stunning reflection Don

  • DonDavisUK replied

    Hi Paul, thank you so much for that mate. I tried this view at many different exposures and time-lapse until I felt I had it right. Of course it was not until I got them back home and viewed them on the computer screen that I really knew what they were like. Don.

  • DonDavisUK replied

    Hey there Pauline, thanks very much for those encouraging words my friend. It’s really lovely at that time of the morning, but there are always lots of people around, even at 5.00am. Some of them don’t look all that well though:-) The sky was clear, but when I started out it was still raining. God bless Pauline, and have a great weekend. Don.

    Great shot Don. I love how the purple reflection leads the eye into the focal point.
    Still think I prefer to stay up late, rather than get up early :-)

  • DonDavisUK replied

    Hi Kev, thanks for that mate, each to their own, I like the mornings because of the stillness and the light when the sun comes up. However, evening photography is also exciting too, and you can’t beat late afternoon light for warmth. But I still think most photographers love their pillows more than their art:-) LOL. Don.

    I’ve heard that looking younger, is easy hanging around someone looking older, what are friends for EH! Great concept this big wheel, entertainingly well done ! paul

  • DonDavisUK replied

    I’ve heard that hanging around older people gives us wisdom:-) They’ve been through sooooo many things in life and we need to listen to their story. Thanks for that my friend Paul, I’m glad that you liked this one. Have a great week. Don.

  • PaulAlbert

    PaulAlbert

    There’s nothing too much better than a daily conversation that goes on for years, the real great part is finding someone that listens, instead of jumping in while the breath is taken, and of course the worst is when someone ask how are you doing as they pass by ! what a wasted breath, some have called it a more gentle time, the smile I learned from listening ! is called English, as my native language is French ! as we coin it, old age is not for sissy’s the road is still up hill and rocky too ! oh ! well ! all it takes is patience. some day you’ll say 600 months, that’s nothin ! :-))

  • DonDavisUK replied

    Strange that you should say that Paul, I’ve been having an amazing daily conversation with someone for years, and only recently have I really learned to listen to what He’s actually saying. That person is God, and He speaks through the Bible, prayer and other people and situations that we’re going through or that are happening in the world. He’s revealed to me recently that He’s been speaking all through my life, and I’m only beginning now to see. It’s sooooo humbling just how much He loves us all. God bless and have an amazing day. I can’t speak French, but I know what you mean about the rocky road not being for sissy’s:-) Cheers my friend. Don.
