Title compliments of Billy. He wanted me to post a photo of myself with Dill draped across my lap...said the two of us hadn't been in yesterday's picture. When I told him which picture I wanted to use, "the title" above was the response I got. He's lived in Lunenburg too long, and a sight like this is "just another day".
As I was taking pictures here, an "old" man came up to tell me the shop was almost 100 years old, "older than him", he said. He had a thick Lunenburg accent. For an additional pic or two of this location, I found this to share: http://www.housenumbers.ca/lunenburgdoryshop.html
I just LOVE this shot! With all due respect to Billy, I think you made the right choice! How cool that the building has been around for over 100 years. The dinghies they build are just beautiful! I love these little throwbacks to the old days of seafaring. This is a definite favorite!
So beautiful! Perfect composition as always! I'd sure love to be sitting somewhere looking out at this right now. Not that you and Dill aren't great subjects as well, but this is heavenly! Good choice, Louise!
What a beautiful view! I miss the sea so much! Stuck in the middle of the US, I'll have to wait to make it back home. Al least, we got a lot of rivers around here...not the same, but i guess it will do for now! ;-) Kitty that loves tomatoe juice? This is so funny, Louise! And i didn't doubt that Dill has gourmet taste... he is such an Aristocat! :-)
This shot makes me feel like I am about to step into that boat, make a left turn around the pilons and drift off to sea. Oh, so nice to dream.
@thanks for the comments on my Octo-bubble photo. I did have to laugh when I went to the link (Slava's I think) you suggested for a relaxing and tranquil photo and was glaringly aware of how far from serenity my life is now! If I ever get these kids old enough to help themselves...lol. What a day that will be!
Great composition, I miss the sea, so I appreciate this choice Louise! The colour of the sky & the light is lovely! Although a picture of you & Dill would be wonderful too! : )
can't imagine such a lovely imagine becoming commonplace! When you said that it reminded me of a movie I just say call Seducing Dr. Lewis, takes place in a Canadian seaside/island village. I highly recommend it, but you have to read subtitles, unless of course you understand french!
I just noticed Kay's comment above. I will not be one bit surprised if we see a posted photo of Louise with Wesley or Angela or both. She seems to meet all the right people and everyone seems to know her name.
Beautiful. I can almost smell the sea and hear the birds :). Thanks for the recent comments. I actually appended a little more information to the bottom of my post since I got a few questions from folks on how the flash is connected. You can check out my update, but the short answer is I am remotely controlling the external flash. You can also get more information by looking at the Lighting 101 section of http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/. I know, I know...so much to learn and not enough time. Thanks again Louise. Oh and Wesley Snipes?! Didn't know he was around the biz anymore. Guess he's attempting a comeback. :)
great composition. It looks like such a lovely place for a bit of contemplation.
I hope you're right about Cambodia sometimes its hard to see beyond all the corruption and poverty.
Yes, Tanya hit it on the nose...the first thought that came to mind when I saw this was "great composition". This is such a wonderful shot! Like the tale told from the "not-so-100-yr-old" man, too. :-)
b eautifully composed and shot, louise. i think i need to go on a field trip to get out of this slump =( i was just "telling" barb that i can't even look at my profile.....i'm just here on this site to leave comments....really crossing my fingers and hoping that i'll be able to pick up the camera soon =)
That is wonderful. Too bad when people lose the beauty and wonder of where they live. Believe me, no one on the Gulf will take anything for granted for a long time.
I REALLY like this shot. But, and I know with me there are a number of times I throw one in, it would have even been more splendid if you had gone over and asked to have the RV moved. :-)
Really love this shot Louise! :)

I looked at the sites - your photo is better :D
Fancy having film stars almost on your doorstep - exciting stuff!
