Hi Friends,
Well I thought I was back, I guess my days here have been here and there as my Husband and I have the house here on the Lake for sale and things have been hectic to say the least. We have a contract on the house now and if all works out we'll be moving by then end of May. Course as I sit here at my kitchen table looking out and the wide open view I have ( just the picture here) then I can't help but feel a bit sad as I do love this lake! But am excited also about our new house in the Mountains of Vermont. I've been taking a few photos around the house to hang in our new home so I thought I'ld share a few with you.
The Bench is one I photograph often as its a bench my Husbands Father made many years ago. I had to repair it last year when the strong south winds off the lake flipped it over and smashed the back but I did the best I could and I hope Dad is pleased...:o)
I find that my fence is not inline with the horizon naturally so either the horizon could be straight or the fence line, did the best I could there! I did a panoramic crop style to try to give you the feeling of just how big this lake is. ( Lake Erie :Lake Erie is the eleventh largest lake in the world (by surface area), and the fourth largest of the Great Lakes.

Oh Donna, you are so going to miss this, view. Especially in the summer. I quite like all the lines running across and of course the bench . It has a lonely feel to it, like it too is saying good bye. Lovley colour, and detail and really sad story. I wish you all the best in your new home.
Warm Regards
Wanda

A very good capture and a good composition. Very well seen.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Donna,

This would make me feel very sad and believe me I have been there, moved around a lot, too much. The wide open space is fantastic, but as you said it is replaced by another beautiful home. This would make a lovely picture for your new house. The fence does not bother me at all.
Lovely work,

TFS

ps
1\ Nice new photo in your intro!
2\How did you managed that 'signature' in the Intro ?

Hello Donna,
This is a kind of strange composition, that is moving on the borderline to abstraction even if it is very figurative!
Distinct layers differfeng in colours and distance and the fence to mark some kind of line...
But maybe the most important element is the bench, white empty and facing the vast lake -
Greetings,
Pablo -
