Present Past

These boats haven't seen any water but rain for years.
I went to this site three times today before I got the shot I wanted.

Kinda sad...I like how the rear view mirror is framed by the green lawn.

[Maggiemae]

Its a great and clear picture in the very clean mirror! Who would own a boat! Too much work!

[J. Voorberg]

I see a lot of boats like this or boats for sale..I think the price of fuel has made some of these too costly to run ( I prefer a canoe...it has cheap power - me)

[katy]

@vskolnik Thanks, Vee. I got lucky with the background on this one.

[katy]

@maggiemae Thanks, Maggiemae. I wiped it down right before I took the shot. This guy apparently likes them but doesn't use them.

[katy]

@jayberg Jay these boats have been here almost as long as we have. It is nowhere near any water either. They are in the middle of town.

[katy]

@jayberg The price of the fuel has nothing to do with it!. You have the most reliablel power for your canoe though.

[Smitha]

I really like the POV. somehow things look even better in the rearview mirror. :)

[katy]

@smithak LOL! that is really funny! I kind of agree with you on this shot!. Thanks so much, Smitha!

[Chrissie]

[Leana Niemand]

Your mirror is very clean! Great shot.

[Shepherdman]

Love the juxtaposition of marine and grassland!

[katy]

@leananiemand LOL! thank so much!. I tried it earlier with dew drops on it and wasn't happy with it at all.

[katy]

@shepherdman Thanks for the view and the comment! The grass is a permanent part of the scenery for these boats.

[Cheryl Sim]

I'm loving this series of rear views. Wonderful idea. These boats look ready to be back on water, they are waiting in anticipation!

[katy]

@silverlight Thanks so much, Cheryl. I am glad. Those boats have been waiting years for that opportunity!

[Jan K]

Fun to capture through the rear view mirror.
I hope someone will restore the boats - hate to see them decaying. They really are a money pit - LOL.

[katy]

@jankoos Thanks Jan. I know the guy that owns them hasn't worked on them in a long time so I am sure you are right ! the money is probably an issue.

[👑 AnaZad]

Oh I love the new series of the mirror shots. This one is great. I know it's not easy to get the composition as we want it.

[katy]

@anazad511 Thank you Ana! I am so happy you think so. Getting a good composition in a mirror is even more challenging!

[Leslie]

boats are closer than they appear... fab shots from your rear view mirror

[katy]

@lesip LOL! How funny! Thanks, Leslie! I am glad you like them.

[Marc]

[katy]

@jmrittle Thanks, Marc. I am glad you like it.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Perseverance makes perfect! I love how they are graduated in size....

[katy]

@espyetta I'm not sure about "perfect" but makes it better for sure! l like the sizes too. Thank you ma'am!

[Darlene]

What a wonderful shot, Katy.

[katy]

@darsphotos I appreciate it Darlene. It turned out better than I hoped in the end

[Ruth Moucharafieh]
