Paddlin' Madeline
If you don’t recognize the significance of the title, then you’re too young to remember the song, Paddlin’ Madeline Home. These days, people catch a taxi. The romance is gone. What’s romantic about a bloody taxi? Paddling is cool. Anyway, I love the boat. So there. Seal Rocks, NSW Australia. And I don’t remember what camera I used. Actually it’s a wonder I remember anything at all.

I don’t know the song mate…but paddling is cool :-) A beautiful area, well captured Gary.
Gary Kelly replied
Yes, paddling is cool. I used to rent a row boat on the George’s River as a kid for 5 bob a day hehe.

Love how you captured land, water and this little boat in between. Great work here, Gary! Wonderful work. :)
Gary Kelly replied
Thanks Kevin. Yes, I think it’s kinda cute too.

The boat in the foreground really makes this shot Gary.
Gary Kelly replied
I agree William. It’s mainly a shot of a boat with a bunch of other stuff to give it atmosphere. Besides, I just love the way old clinkers are made with all the ribs and curved timbers. They’re an art form.

Its too bad they moved it back up the beach next to the road – see http://www.redbubble.com/people/craigmason/art/3222235-3-boat-at-boat-beach-seal-rocks for a shot same boat from 12 months ago – sealies is a great spot for photography…

I checked it out, Craig. And yes I agree about ‘Sealies’. Gotta get this tired old butt back out there.

Great shot Gary….You are going to be tired by the time you get the boat in the water Ha Ha…

Just between you and me, John, I’m quite happy to sit in a boat on dry land and pretend it’s in the water. I have a very fertile imagination ya know.
