The Closing Of A Day 2

We so often sit and watch television or pine the time away indoors doing something – something that in some ways adds very little to your life if you think about it for long. Yet just over the hill from where I live this is the view that you can witness. And it will be slightly different every day and every hour, and from different vantage points around Lake Macquarie in Australia.

Image taken with a 3.2 MP Sony Cyber-Shot P8 from the shores of Eleebana which is on the East Coast of Australia.

Another beautiful shot! This is so serene and inviting….I can smell the salt air from here! Well done again!
reflector

Yes it does look very serene, thanks Penny. This is actually suburbia ( the houses were only 50 metres / yards behind me when I took the photo ), and those hills are also inhabited – it’s just not visible.
Judith Winde

This is a very calming scene. I love the silhouettes of the buoy and shore bird. Beautiful orange colored sky, and the two toner black background, complete this photo very nicely!
reflector

Thanks for the great comment Judith ! Hovering above those hills yesterday were ” heavy ” clouds that were completely stacked to the rafters ! But I was going skateboarding and decided not to rush home to grab the camera – that scene or one similar will be replayed at some stage.

this is so stunning and is a real favourite – just can’t imagine why I haven’t told you before now!..
reflector replied

Many thanks Dinghy ! This was shot about 3 years ago now on the 3.2 MP but it’s still one of my Faves too !
Prasad

Beautiful capture!
reflector replied

Thanks very much ! Our lake can look magical and like a wilderness scene, even though it’s surrounded by suburbia.

fabulous colours
reflector replied

Thank you very much Violetta ! I really appreciate the Fave, I have always loved and been proud of this capture ! [ 3.2 MP ! ]

Great capture, James
reflector replied

Thanks Rajee ! I really appreciate the Fave because although minimalist, this is one of my fave captures – ever.

Stunning Muted colours
So warm and soft
Bravo! ♥
reflector replied

Hi Adgray ! Thanks very much for your great comment. I’m curious too. This one has similar views, but 4 times the Faves of version one. Is it because it looks a bit different to a usual sunset pic in its colours maybe ? Thank you for making it a Fave !

Beautiful :)) Love the bird just whiling away the hours as well – and yes you are righ too much time is spent missing life !!
reflector replied

Thanks again Pamela ! The birds really love that little inland reef. Pelicans, Sea Gulls, Ducks and others hang out there for a bit of fishing. Thank you for making it a fave – these 4 images of my Lake are still right up there as my favourite landscape shots, even though it was only a 3.2 MP camera I caught them with.

reflector replied

Thanks Cheryl, it did look exceptional that afternoon !
Susanne Correa

What an outstanding image!

Thank you for sharing it with us.
reflector replied

Thanks a lot for the compliment Susanne !
Jan Timmons

I feel the same way about the telly. This makes your point so beautifully – wonderfully appealing thirds, silhouettes and hues.
reflector replied

Thanks for your thoughts Jan, very much appreciated !
Jan Timmons

Ah, when I put my nose to the monitor, I see that the bird is not in silhouette but has delicate hues.

Even in suburbia one can find beauty, as you have.
reflector replied

Thanks again ! This was one of my first landscape shots taken with a 3.2 MP camera.
Pamela Jayne S...

beautiful capture James and you are so right – we just don’t seem to have the “time” to appreciate what is around us! I love this image :)
reflector replied

Photography helps us to appreciate the magic things in nature again. You can’t keep searching for great scenes and objects and remain unimpressed by them. :)) Thanks Pam !
Karen Betts

beautiful image love the depth and the gulls just watching the world go by, wish we would give ourselves that time to stop and see the world around us.
