Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry, I've been so busy over the holiday period that I missed the first New Year's Theme.

Anyway, here is my tardy contribution.
It is a view from Pontrieux, Brittany.

The day was beautiful. My brother and sister-in-law took us out to show us some of the pretty places near their home in Brittany.
At Pontrieux, there is a boat ride which takes you along the river, past old wash-houses from the last century, which have been exquisitely decorated with flowers. It was absolutely beautiful!

This is one of my outstanding memories of 2008.

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Hello Bev,there is plenty to take in, in your shot;lots of bright colours and lovely textures.
I assume that you were actually on the water for this shot?
Having had lots of holidays in France,seeing this, makes me want to go back!
I like the mirror effect of the water.
Tfs, regards Jean.

wonderful colours and textures are well seen and captured. i like the reflective and calm water. the POV is good too, giving a pleasant view. well done, Bev.

TFS

hello Bev

This is a superb scenery of neighborhood, how nice to live in a place like this, with a boat at the back of a house! So impossible for us to imagine in Borneo where only rivers flow through flood banks and houses are on stilts!

But here, only 2 steps down to the water level! Thank you for sharing this, is it for sale? We want to live here!

tfs, bill

Hello Beverly.
Lovely and sunny holiday picture you shows here.
ps. Thanks for your ws on mine, good job to lighten it more.
Cheers, jan
