Good Morning peeps

Well what an absolutely awesome weekend. This was the first image I took of around 700 from the ferry as we arrived in France in the early hours of Saturday morning.

We left home at 2.30 am having been up since early the following morning and set off to meet up with six other vehicles in from the Subaru club. We were all tired but somehow it didnt matter as the air was charged with excitement as we drove to get the 6 am ferry from Dover to Dunkerque.

A wonderfully smooth crossing with a beautiful pastel sunrise saw us set for the drive accross Belgium and into Germany.

More to follow with tomorrows post

Early morning - 6.45am. Lovely colours Helen, very soft and pretty. Well composed image with the boat railing hiding some of the sun's reflections - well done

Hi Helen:
That distant boat adds so much to this beautiful capture...looking forward to see the 700 images:)

An excellent POV Helen.
Colors are fantastic and the general atmosphere suberb.
Amazing beautiful sky and sea which combines perfect with ship railing.
Congratulations my dear.

So all went well in the end!!

Good morning Helen,

That Duinkerken Arrival must have been stunning.
The most wonderful weather, a place filled with echoes of quite a history, what more can you want - oh yes of course the seaabreeze through your blond hair.
Lovely work,

Well played with the light and refection on the water. The square frame created at the bottom creates an extra picture as you eye is pulled to the fine ripples on the water.
