Going nowhere

I decided to meander home via the boathouses this afternoon and the combination of blue sky and reflection of blue sky from the water was amazing - I may find another pic to post for tomorrow. This is the University Boat Club boathouse. The 1st boat rowers don't practice in Cambridge - they go up to Ely where they have a training stretch of water. We'd never win if they had to do battle with all the chaos on our bit of river. But you do see them using the boathouse as a gym. I quite enjoyed the topless brawny man on the rowing machine in the neighbouring boathouse but I like the Cambridge blue colours here.

Oh no don't tell me you got flooding over by you too!!!!

@michaelelliott Well that's the river but in 'summer' (I use the term loosely) the water was up to the doors!

[Michael Elliott]

@judithg - ok thats a relief! But wow that river really is high to the land. Nice shot.

[Rosie Kind]

Do show us the topless brawny man in the next boathouse

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful colors. Like the gym shot too

[Janna E.]

The Cam sure is high... I love your title - looking at the picture I feel like the guy just really, really wants to get ahead but can't...

[Humphrey Hippo]

Clever title! can you post the topless brawny man tomo?

[Maggiemae]

The river is flowing at the same level, almost! This looks like a keen rower - they do need to work out!

beautiful framing in the doors. How nice of her to add bright pink to the shot!

[Melanie Savage]

Great title :) The boathouse is very similar in style to the ones in Bedford, I've never seen a brawny shirtless man working out in it though!

[Pat Knowles]

I was looking for the topless man & Cambridge colours....thought you had posted the wrong photo!!!! A fit looking girl with nuclear wheels instead!!! LOL Love the boathouse design & that lovely balcony!

[Amy Spada]

Fabulous bike shot!!! :)

[Jen Hudson]

Nice framing and composition.Like the swirls and reflections in the water.

[Phil Howcroft]

well worth the meander judith and the light is gorgeous

[Barbara Paquette]

What a great eye you have. The symmetry is stunning and even though she is going nowhere, by seeing her off-center you have given her much more energy!

[VJ Joson]

Wonderful composition!
