Sky Watch #23
For this week's meme, I am again pulling one out of my magic archives hat. This is taken earlier this year at Grizzly Island Wildlife Area in Suisun City, some 25 miles away. We have heard about the good fishing that can be had there and the variety of wildlife to be seen. We saw some birds, walked some trail including this one that led to a wooden bridge where one can view the wide open spaces. I did not see anything really "wild" but we plan to go back again since it's close enough.
I also chose this one for the season of advent. I think my caption for the picture would be: Tis the season of hopeful expectation and patient waiting.
There are tons of great sky pictures from participants all over the world. Check out the Sky Watch page.
Lovely shot! I think that's a perfect caption.
ReplyDeleteGreat silhouette shot! Awesome muted coloring. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOur weather today is a standard weather type pattern, but not usually at this time of year. It was fun.
Great shot, Maria! Very poetic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments.

This shot is fascinating. I love it. You can turn this into a motivational poster. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you captured the 'Freedom Building' beautifully. I can also see that I've been taking a few similar shots with you. ;)
Rachel--thank you.
ReplyDeleteDewdrop--I liked the silhouette too so I used sepia on this.
Joy--thanks joy for your visit again.
bipolar haven--you are very kind. i love to go back to malacca and stay much much longer than my day trip.
A beautiful and literal interpretation of Skywatching.

ReplyDeleteSuch a lonely image. He's got a long way to walk before he can find someone to talk to. A whole film could be built around this shot. Glad you have a magic hat.
ReplyDelete"Simple" and beautiful - a photo to be envied.

This is reminiscent of my post last week. Having an elevated walkway through wetlands is a wonderful resource. I hope you get to go back and see the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteLike the color you used... the soft sepia... and what a landscape... uncluttered.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this photo very much. It is like a very relaxing walk and the shadow is very neat. I like to try taking a photo of this.
ReplyDeleteWell done how the end of the bridge meets the horizon line right at the water. The entrance to the bridge leads the viewer right in.
ReplyDeleteWell said and well captured!
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was Wow! There's a sense of solitude about the image. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI love this shot! A sense of loneliness is felt though..
