Evening Light

This is a pond I've been wanting to photograph for ages but when driving past it, John's gone too fast for a safe stop. This evening on my way back from our book club in the country, I was able to stop safely and take this photo with huge trucks roaring past me! When you take photos, you happily don't take the noise!

What an awesome vista, love the vivid blues and the lovely reflections and the interest in the foreground! Lovely!

It's so calm and beautiful that it is hard to imagine the trucks roaring past. Lovely shot.

A lovely scene, and the illuminated grasses in the foreground add to it!

It was well worth the stop and the "noise!" It's a beautiful composition, Maggiemae. A definite FAV for me. Sometimes I almost put my life in danger just stopping in an area for a photo ... the traffic is so heavy. Hope that you were able to get off of the road a bit for this.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Fabulous composition Maggiemae, wonderful colours, clarity and reflections. Well worth the stop and the trucks!!

[Mick]

[santina]

wonderful view and fantastic reflections, great shot

[Maggiemae]

@cimes1 Thanks; the sun had set but the sky was clear and gave that blue to the water!

[Maggiemae]

@frida Thanks, Frida didn't notice the grass until you pointed it out!

[Maggiemae]

@karenann It was very nerve wracking.. The trucks were only a meter or so away! If I'd gone further away I'd have fallen into the pond!

[Lisa Pouncy]

This is beautiful Maggiemae. Lovely vibrant colours and wonderful reflection xx

[Darlene]
