making waves

"be mindful...every single thought and every single action creates a ripple effect."

passed by my old haunt the beaches today. the water was a deep blue. there was a bit of breeze but it was still good to be by the water. this man did one better, he swam in it, but didn't last too long before he swam back (or walked) to the shore. looking at him though so far out into the lake, it reminds me that we are just a speck in this vast universe. i waited for a more dramatic waves but didn't have much patience.

people, but not as many as during the summer, were enjoying the beautiful weather on this first day of autumn. though the trees haven't even started changing colours.

for the weekly theme.
We humans really are so insignificant in Nature's scheme of things. This image makes the point very well.

A lovely shot of the ripples and colour of the water.

Brings back memories of our wonderful water is around your body as you swim - all on your own!

Thought provoking. He looks so out of place there somehow. For sure, the effect of his actions will not go unnoticed. I like the way he does stick out (a bit like a sore thumb) in this calm minimalist scene. Even to the extent that he looks cut off at the waist - as if you just plonked him there out of context.

Nice photo and very thought provoking narratuve. The water is a really pretty blue. Nice horizon.

@helenhall - hahaha! i promise you i didn't just plonked him there. the lens was on auto focus and one of those little squares just focused on him. the next shots of him were blurry as he started to go back to shore. and that's why i posted this, because it did look like he was just plonked in there! :-D

Love the color of the water and the minkmslist effect of the swimmer. You have shown our insignificance in the universe very nicely here

Great minimalist shot- plonked, not plonked or otherwise!
