Passing By

As I sat at my computer thinking about what my photo of the day should be I looked up and spotted with uniquely coloured fishing boat passing by. It's not the most exciting of shots but it's from today. It does look better viewed large against black. I'm tired! I was up at 5:45 to drive kids to gymnastics, then did 5km on the treadmill. It's been a grey kind of day. I just spent the last two hours looking at train schedules and planning the Florence to Pisa to Cinque Terre part of our trip. I'm making an itinerary with all the important info (maps, opening hours, costs of things, etc) so we can maximize our time. For some reason it sucks the energy out of me!

"For some reason"? It sounds exhausting, all the planning and arranging! You'll love the trip...some of our favourite places! And as you sit at home planning and waiting, count your blessings for being able to "look up" and have that beautiful water view! Lovely!

[Kate]

Nice pop of color amongst all of that grey!

[Rosie Kerr]

Sounds like a lot of work is going into your trip. I am excited for you, but it is tiring. On the plus side, you have a nice view while you plan it.

[J A Byrdlip]

Thought it was a Tacoma Fire Boat.

[Sue Wilde]

By the time you get away you'll really need this holiday. Love the silly colour of this boat. So lemony/limey

[Tammy]

Great shot! Love the color of the boat against all that gray. It does take lots of energy to plan a trip like that - but you will be so glad that you took the time and energy to do it when you are actually there!

[Pat Knowles]

Interesting traffic passing you by.....those distant mountains are beautiful! It looks a little chilly stil! Fantastic colour & the trip sounds good!

[Kathy]

This is such an awesome view!!! Love the low hanging clouds and just bit and pieces of the mountains showing through!! FAV!!
All your planning will be worth it when you finally get to go and relax and enjoy all those things you planned!!!

[Kerri]

Awesome Shot

[Barb Newcomb]

Love the mood of this shot.

[Barbara Webb]

Planning is always hard, glad you had time to photo this. Colour of the boat definitely is different!

[Issi Bannerman]

I love this image, and you're right - much better on black! I like the sharp focus on the boat, the misty mountains behind, and the natural foreground.

[Ali P]

Great shot!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

The boat's nearly-neon paint is in real contrast to the gloom and grey of its surroundings. Looks like there's lots of driftwood waiting to be made into driftwood trees. :)

[CK]

Love the pop of that green. Great spot!

[Pete Roberts]

Looks cold Kim. Nice shot as the boat stands out a midst the gloominess

[Danny G.]

Love that splash of green! You have a wonderful, amazing view!

[Sheralee S]

I am currently planning our Iceland/UK trip too. It's a lot of work, I do sympathise. We were to go to Cinque Terre but have put that off until next year. I will love to see your photos when you go, I have a friend there now.

[Julie Ryan]

This is what you see our your window? Lovely shot! I am up at 5:45 everyday, yes it makes you feel tired!

[Tom]

Not only a fishing boat, but multiple layers inn the background

Lovely capture and I like how the color of the boat makes it pop on the water.

[summerfield]

Lovely shot, and what a gorgeous view you have. All that planning will be more than worth it :)

[Osia Strasner]

Scheduling a trip to Italy trumps all photos of the day, and you are still lucky to be able to see this when you look up from your computer. Hope all goes as planned on your trip.
