This is a great way to bring to the forefront the problem of pollution Silke. Love the clarity in the water, and there you have your cowboy hat to wear! Hope you wore it all day! Nice work on this and a great shot for the floating theme!

Hi Silke,
Good message to all humanbeings about pollution.
Really an artwork with color harmony, diagonal lines on the water.
No need any other word than "perfect".

Hello Silke


Simple, of the Nature you made an excellent picture
Interesting, the times the tide returns us here in the beach strange things, but it had never repaired with other eyes.
I will try to have more attention to that!
Congratulations, great entrance to the theme!
Poor lonely hat!

Very cool signature Silke! I love it...
Your words really stick imho due to the start of the Olympics tomorrow and all the issues our (the worlds) athletes are having...
I like what you saw.. Even nature is holding us back ...

HI Silke
I fear that its a hopeless cause as we live in society that is now much too fast and out of control.

Your picture makes good use of items, to achieves the effect. We can't help but say 'what a shame'. At least there were no srynges which is often found on beaches.
Great picture and message for the theme

It's always interesting and fun to see the ideas people come up with for the Friday themes, yours is a great idea! A sad situation, but an excellent picture. I do like that hat :)

Whjat a very 'brown' sad-looking scene Silke. The water lapping the derelict hat and even the old bucket look brown and sludgy. The stick lying on the hat makes me think it might have been a walking stick - I hope the owner of them both hasn't disappeared out there in the waters!!
Pollution - a world-wide problem
Well captured

A rather sad looking photo Silke, you have captured this problem very well..and one does wonder where the owner of the hat is!?

Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Hi Silke,
An interesting shot for the floating theme. This is not just about the beauty of a photo, but the quality of message it conveys. Very good message - one of the tiring issue here in my city is the disappointing pollution of the water.

Another interesting diagonal composition. Love the placement of the hat as well.

Regards,
Ramdan.

Hi Silke,
Je me suis d'abord demandé:
Où est le vieillard à qui appartient ce chapeau et cette canne qui flotte sur cette rive?
Puis en lisant ta note j'ai reconnue le lac près de chez moi aussi et senti la même désolation...
Merci pour le partage et le message,
Dany

First a lost sock and now someones hat Silke, at this rate you will be able to open a store. Very well composed and good clarity, you worked the light well. WIth my scenes from the Tamar I try and avoid showing the fltsam and jetsum that floats around on the tide.

A photograph with a message!

As always Silke, I don't have time to comment every photo.
( not day by day )
Not only from you.
But when, I browse the new ones.

This one I draw my attention : my kind of humor ... hihi
Love the compo, colours, ...
It's " simple ", no title needed
So frame it ! :-)

TFS
