Some would say that overcast and rainy days are not fitting for vacations on the Chesapeake Bay. On the contrary, these types of days encourage quiet walks and talks with friends (and loud, joyful laughing, too), cookouts on the beach, and if you’re me, even a bit of play in the water.
I’d also get up every morning and spend an hour or so with the camera. Something kept me coming back to this dock and this perspective.
The dock, and the world, just seemed to go on forever.

Lovely picture. That dip towards the end of the dock gives it a very distinctive feel- thank you for posting it 🙂

Laurie, I know that I said I’d had enough traveling for a while, but my body and soul want to walk on that pier — to see what I can see and to feel and hear the differences I know would be there. Many thanks!

Nice Laurie! Great use of leading lines and rhythm as compositional tool. Your perspective leads the viewers eye right through the frame.

Thank you Emilo. I took so many and in the ones where the alignment was even slightly off,the result wasn’t as good. I learned a lot with this image.
