Departure Bay

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 22 July 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

I took this shot at Neck Point Park. What is it about nautical themes that fascinate us (or at least me). I guess maybe it's the romantic notions we have of the sea...

I'm gone for the weekend so won't be able to check in with anyone. Will catch up again on Monday. Have a great weekend!!

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

Fascinates almost everyone, maybe because it reminds us that we can leave where we are for better times. Very nice.

Nicely done, and cool processing. Looks more like a painting. :)

@Rahul: Rahul, my buddy!! That's sort-of what I was going for without using the painterly filters.
