Gold and Glass

· 8 Comments ·

I thought of this photo first when I read the prompt. Liquid gold. Sunset over our small lake.

But then … I thought of the glass blowers at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland.

A molten blob of glass
slowly cooling down and solidifying
shaped into a glass
let’s add a handle as long as the glass is hot and pliable

The Winter Locals

· 4 Comments ·

In summer this is the beach of the local lake, busy with children of all ages, splashing in the water, laying in the sun, building sand castles, playing ball and generally enjoying themselves, joyously and usually noisily. In winter it’s quiet and there are different folks frequenting the water and the beach: geese and coots and ducks and swans and cormorants. They seem to be enjoying themselves just as much as the summer visitors.

Water, Water Everywhere

Through the clouds wafting over the lake I could just about see the two pelicans (aka water purifiers) and a cormorant sitting on the stabilizer.

The photo is enhanced with photo editing, what I saw was more like this:

I hope the weather will pick up. I know this is typical for November and I should be grateful for normal weather but it is kind of depressing.
