[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I discovered this idyllic pond just last evening and had to take some pictures of it.
When the pond was first created by the damming of the river in the 1830s, it was surrounded by several thriving industries. Today, the Mill Pond itself is home to a flock of mallard ducks (including one albino duckling) a few Canada geese, and a very aggressive little swan family.

Tech: shot in RAW, converted to jpg, resized for TL without cropping and sharpened

Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend.

hi Silke,

I love the peaceful scene. It is a beautiful and well composed view. I think it could use a bit more vibrant color. So I did a little workshop to show my thought. Very nice.

take care,

John

Hello Silke.
Beautiful picture of that relaxed part of nature. Sure nice to have a walk down there.
Greetings, Jan

Just brilliant, Silke!
Great POV, the vegetation makes a lovely natural frame and the fountain takes the eye up to the sky! The whole thing speaks tranquility, calm, reflect!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Silke

A tranquil & relaxing lakeside scene. The water spray of the distant fountain adds interest. The fg vegetation adds depth. Tfs!

Hello Silke,
The fountain, the duck, the wild flowers in front... that's the movement of my eyes as I open this image!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Silke, it is always nice to come across a little bit of tranquillity in the city. Nicely composed with good deep colours. For so little PP work a lovely image. TFS,
David

Hi Silke. A beautiful scene well composed and delivered. Reminds me a little of Christchurch city in New Zealand. TFS. Murray.

Hello Silke

Visual, wonderful beautiful composition, taste of the lake and the fountain to the half giving a beautiful look of their waters.
Beautiful and big shot!
Beautifull composition, well done.

Hello Silke
Calm and rest in front of water. It is beautiful.
Have a nice day.
In a friendly way
Gildas

Precioso lugar en el que puedes recrearte con contemplar esta imagen.
Buenos detalles y excelente presentación.
Saludos Silke, JL.

Silke, I find it a bit dark on MY monitor.
( Hope that I have a different one soon ! )
I like the composition of those flowers and plants on the foreground but the fontain smack in the middle of the photo hmmmm ...
and I have a feeling the water ain't level.
Could be a trick of the eye because of the perspective.
" thats about it " ... ooohhhh ... >:-)

Hallo Silke,
ein wunderschönes idyllisches Bild, das ist eine Stelle wo man sich gerne nach einem arbeitsreichen Tage erholt.
Super gezeigt mit den Enten, Spiegelung und dem Wildblumen vorne, herrlich.
Liebe Grüsse
Eva

Beautiful shot!

Now very soon this will also make an idyllic October posting - Silke, I just wait and see if you will be getting a nice indian summer or if we have to wait to see this all frozen....
TFS this lovely image and watch out for the swans,
Els
