No Points Day - I follow this theme to TL, so no Rating please, thanks.

Early morning view on a river that has been dammed up at lower end of Kuching, as the sun rose and cast a long reflection on the stagnant river water with no flower. The sun, the source of our daily energy and light and everything. The water, our daily need. We cannot live without either one.

3 trek members woke up early to catch a good morning together. Without photography as hobby, it is unlikely such meeting will happen. I know, the sun is in the middle of the frame. Well, intentional and I wish to see how it looks like.

Hi Bill
I didn't know there is such a theme. And I am a bit 'depressed' since this shot really need a full points. It is a good quality shot with marvelous moment of beautiful scenery.

Regards,
Ramdan

i, as the sun here and its reflection resemble, is the universal sign for a place to seek information.

like Ramdan, I am coming to i to know on every what day is that no-points theme.

If I am allowed to break the rule, I must award this beautiful image with a full point.

Hello Bill.
You divided this picture in several parts, which are not really to the 'rules'. But rules are to be broken, haha
I know, the wires are your contact to the 'world', but nowadays, you can do without it, right ?
For sure you saw the sun shining in the water.
Keep it that way, have a joyful day.

Bill,
This is very lovely. And what a way to start a morning being greeted by the spectacular sunrise. We are all indeed blessed. Greetings! Danilo

Hai Bill,

This is the moment waited by everyone, to capture a full round of setting sun. Clear reflection of the on the water provide a good contra for the green tree at the riverbank. Awesome captured. Good job bill.

Regards
Steve
Keep on Kliking..

dear Bill Laucp,
this reflection (the sun and the trees) on the water is very strange to me. perhaps the states of ripple are different on each portion of the water surface...
calm, peaceful and very quiet moment of the morning, you captured those well, and I especially like this "cool and warm" air indeed. also I like to take shot in the morning, I feel same air in it.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Bill,

Nothing much wrong with this photo. Too bad I can't give points for this and I didn't know there is a No Points Day on TL. But I think that you may have a dusty lens or maybe it is the sensor because I could see dust particles on the photo. I may be wrong.

TFS.

2008 no points day - save the earth. How long will this view survived? Noble contribution and well captured image of this pristine looking sunset. Thanks for sharing and a very good night, Bill. Jusni

Hello Bill,
You have some stunning sunset shots in your gallery.
This is one of them.
A beautiful shot taken on the moment with great colours and clarity.
That reflection is something else.
I maybe would have cloned out the wires.
TFS, Joni.
