Punters

Lots of detail, so best seen on large view if you have a moment. Thank you.

Lester and I got married on 10th July 1976, so that's 37 years ago. It's a long time to be together so I think we must be doing something right. :) I know I couldn't ask for a more loving, supportive husband.
I don't have a shot that's about our anniversary so asked Lester to choose one he liked from our weekend visit to Cambridge instead. This is the shot he chose, he thinks it's a fun scene - me too.

Congratulations!!!! Good on you both! This is a lovely fun photo and how nice that you included him in the process. I would so love to be in this picture!

I had to look up what a "punter" was (other than in football) - I've never seen something like this - it is fascinating - so many! I'm in awe of your fantastic detail in this shot. And a big congratulations to you and Lester. All through your postings it's been so nice to learn about BOTH of you. You make a wonderful pair.

I too had to look up "punter", so once again I am broadening my knowledge, thanks to you. Congratulations to you and Lester, Allison. May you enjoy another 37 years together! Oh yes, the photo was great...lots of detail, images very crisp!

They are punters 'cos they are gambling on NOT falling in. Superb image...so clear! I love those green shorts lol Happy Anniversary Alison and Lester! I'm wishing you many more lovely days together!

Beautiful view - and a lot of action going on there. I used to see the same scenery on the Thames when we visited my son in Oxford. Congratulations on your anniversary.

@carolmw @jenrobcarr @willowdragon Thank you for the good wishes, ladies. We didn't do anything special, just had a happy, quiet day and lunch together at a favourite cafe.

[Ariel]

This is lovely, and sums it up. Looks almost like a modern Canaletto! Congratulations on your anniversary. 37 years is indeed amazing. Glad you had a good day!

[Netkonnexion]

Fun! I love photographing punters. They are so silly! Nice capture.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Happy Anniversary! Looks like punting is more crowded and crazy than I always imagined from your other pics. LOL! That is alot of folks out and about on the river.

[Cindy Muir]

Congrats on your anniversary!
I love this shot. You always have the ability to capture so much in a single image. I keep waiting and watching for the woman in the foremost boat to fall in....I guess I'm attributing my grace and balance to her! :)
