There’s so much to appreciate, between the glassy lake, the precise angle of the canoe, just so, and the fine detail in the trees, like a very old painting. Subtle pleasures.
Thanks Lynn. As I mentioned to Martin above, it conjures the past for me as well. I have stereoviews photographed in New Hampshire during the 1860’s which have a similar feel.
A real peaceful picture John ! Wish i could be there on summer holiday, not in a hot great town like Hamburg…
Many thanks; happy you liked it. Hope it cools off for you soon!
Pastoral.
thanks
Lovely

Beautiful and idyllic
Thanks Martin, I took this two years ago.
Last summer at a show at Yale I saw a small salt print that Talbot made of a similar scene in Scotland over 170 years ago. It’s been with me since.
