Puddles & a ferry. by happypat

Puddles & a ferry.

The Isle of Man ferry setting off from Heysham & the western mountains of the Lake District were really clear on this sunny day at Clevelys.

Not too happy with this photo as I notice now I have uploaded it that it's quite grainy but I quite like the picture itself.

There were yellow tipping trucks bringing loads of gravel along the base of the sea wall & there seemed to be lots more large boulders along the sea breaks. I think they must be anticipating some high tides.

You continue to fave & comment on my Shard photo so thank you so much....I have replied to some of you when I have had the time but do appreciate every one of your comments.

Three good things:
1. The lost sheepdog Jasper has been found on the Lakeland Fells early this morning, everyone is so relieved.
2. A mixed day of making beds, painting & baking so feel I have done lots with my time today.
3. I had a lie in too! No breakfasts this morning for the B&B Harry made him toast & coffee as he had an early start.
Great shot - hooray for the finding of Jasper!

Beautiful scenery, nice capture of the different tones of blue.

This looks so appealing Pat, love the colors

great shot , I can see David's shed (the nuclear submarine building which he was civil engineer on)

A lovely shot and so much to see the longer you look!

@pinkpaintpot I wondered if that was what it was....I guessed Barrow shipyard good to have your knowledge Linda. I must say I have never noticed it as clearly before.

Beautiful shot Pat.

@rustymonkey thank you so much Karen......much appreciated!

A lovely tranquil scene - perhaps in front of the storm especially as you saw gravel been loaded and deposited along the base of the sea wall !

Great image Pat, lovely lines and layers and colour... So much in this image...
November 6th, 2014  
This is wonderful Pat. I love the layers.
November 6th, 2014  
Looks like a great day! Beautiful scene.
November 6th, 2014  
Just a gorgeous scene, and on my cell phone that I have been confined to for 11 days, I can see no grain!
November 6th, 2014  
Great landscape! Love the dot of red!
November 6th, 2014  
Love the blue of the sky and sea. I saw the headline of the dog found, but haven't been following the story, will look it up now.
November 6th, 2014  
I think this is beautiful with the pools of water reflecting the sky and the horizontal lines! I will have to investigate the story of Jasper. Your days sound so busy whereas I just wander around dazedly all day with my camera!
November 6th, 2014  
Excellent shot, it's all so crisp.

@maggiemae ha ha not always maggimae....I was in a bit of a strop because Harry wouldn't make his mind up whether to mow the grass or go to Preston .....I got stuck into the painting while he decided & it went on from there! I sometimes wander round with my camera too!

A great view. The figure in red is so tiny, really gives perspective. Sorry for mass comments, so behind again.
November 6th, 2014  
Well it looks lovely Pat! And you've been busy. I've taken two boxes of books off the shelves but that's as near as I've got to painting. I'm hoping Nigel decides we don't need to paint the ceiling - if so I'll have to wait till the piano's gone.
November 6th, 2014  
Great shot

no reason not to be happy about it Pat, it is fabulous.
Grain in the skies is not uncommon (is this your olympus pen?) and can be emphasised by the fact that your image resolutions are reduced when 365 has adjusted them for displaying to us all on here :)
November 6th, 2014  
@judithg oh not the ceiling, I draw the line at that!
November 6th, 2014  
@phil_howcroft thanks Phil.....I think I played about with it a bit too much too but it is a fact that what seems ok on computer seems grainy & not as good as you thought on 365.

@happypat each time you click 'save' when you edit a jpeg picture, it loses resolution (I assume it was a jpeg)
November 6th, 2014  
@phil_howcroft .....so the more 'saves' you do the resolution drops
November 6th, 2014  
Gorgeous shot! :)
November 6th, 2014  
@phil_howcroft ah well that's the reason then!
November 6th, 2014  
Btw it was JPEG. I have changed off RAW because as I use my iPad lots now they take up too much space.
November 6th, 2014  
I love this shot, there is nothing better than a deserted beach to walk along. So peaceful. Good to hear Jasper has been found.
November 7th, 2014  
Lovely detailed shot here
November 7th, 2014  
Awesome shot
November 7th, 2014  
Great capture.. love the feeling of last open space. So relieved that Jasper has been found
November 7th, 2014  
Love that lapis lazuli sea and all the little details of boat, plane, dog etc. My shots also get a grainy look when there is low light and too much digital zoom involved.
November 7th, 2014  
Wow so clear and blue. Love the hint of hills behind too
November 7th, 2014  
Fabulous details.
