The Curling Pond, Braemar

It's been in use since 1906, but not much curling went on there this winter! It is still used though when the winter is cold enough to make it happen. In the meantime, the duck is enjoying the water!

Such a fabulous capture and scene, with lovely colours.! I love the textures and reflections, the duck is a bonus.

[Babs]

The duck looks so happy on his own. Love the reflections on the water.

Beautiful composition without the curling rink in usable condition. I'm not sure anyone participates in curling here!

Curling is big in Minnesota where I lived for years. I hope next winter they’ll have their rink intact.

Nice reflections and capture

The Christmas lights have probably been there for a while.

[Pat Knowles]

Beautiful blending of sympathetic colours! Added loveliness with the reflection! Curling outdoors……must be cold! We have an indoor rink near us in The Flower Pot.

Looks beautifully weathered, and interesting history

[Kathy]

Isn't it amazing what a touch of color will do for a weathered building. Nice reflection in the pond.

Definitely not the season for curling! But Mr. Mallard has found a new purpose for it. good shot!
