down by the lakeside

this is where i ended up yesterday at lunchtime, sitting on a bench under the cool shade of a maple tree, just watching the boats, feeling in the breeze for some peace and quiet before tackling again the myriad of work i had to finish tout de suite. just people watching and sometimes surreptitiously taking photos of people when they're not looking warily at me and my camera.

this is for the 52-week challenge's left to right rule for the composition category this week. "Compose an image in the way we read; most countries read from left to right. Compose your shot to follow this direction."

Jolly good for that challenge! Never really thought about the angle the eye takes on viewing a picture! I know that promenade!

Top spot for people-watching and great shade. Your heat-wave has made it into our papers.

Such a great example with both the diminishing boardwalk and the diminishing water leading your eye across the page!
