@saeed: Thanks always Saeed :)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Yes, I like the angle of this too. Is it permanently parked? I like how the road takes the eye right to the water.
Wonderful shot mon amie.

@Janice Thomson: If it's still there Janice, it is permanently parked, as I took this in Nfld in 1985 or so (2 years before my son was born) lol
@mosleh: Mosleh, thanks a lot :)
@Ilnoir: mmmmlol pas fameux celui-là, mais merci beaucoup :)
@Daroru: Thanks a lot Daroru :)
Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
Guess it won't be moving anytime soon... great moody image. Did you consider B&W Lorraine..?
19 May 2008 8:15am
@Observing: I don't think so, thanks a lot Mike, I hadn't but I see I should have (tried it and WOW it looks a lot better LOL)
Mandy from Johannesburg, South Africa
Oh how nice! I love the composition Lorraine! Poor old boat has been deserted

@rem_la: C'est à esprérer, merci beaucoup :)
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
I see we've both posted a picture of a boat today Lorraine...this has a great feel to it!
It looks more like a photo shot on film rather than digital. I'm not sure what it is but let me know if I'm right - you've got me intrigued now!
19 May 2008 9:13am
@Ian Bramham: It is film photo oh and I see now it wasn't you who suggested B&W but Mike (and he was right) ;)
BTW, your boat photo IS exquisite
Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Wow That's great! By the way, Is that by a lake or the sea? And how did the boat get there?
19 May 2008 10:42am
@Koushiro~光子郎: hey Koushiro, It's the Sea, in Nfld, I don't know because i was just visiting for a couple of weeks ;) Thanks so much
Alun Lambert from cheshire, United Kingdom
That was a vert high tide ha ha :) Great shot Lorraine
19 May 2008 10:43am
@Alun Lambert: LOL there you go, you solved the age old question: Why is it parked there? lol good of you Alan ;)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Muckin' around the boats, eh? Good shot and great title!
Just the kind of place I'd like to be!
19 May 2008 12:24pm
@Judy: Hey Judy, It's in Newfoundland, it's a beautiful, beautiful place, if I had the money I might just move there, it's so moody (like me ;)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I like the composition and subject matter very much, but think this could benefit from a little bit of playing around with levels and/or highlight/shadow filter in postprocessing to give it a stronger look.
19 May 2008 1:23pm
@Andrew Gould: Thanks a lot Andrew and you're absolutely right, and also Mike (from Observing) was right too, it looks incredibly good in B&W....live and learn :)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I love the title. What did the guys standing in the background think of your shooting?
19 May 2008 3:30pm
@Michael Rawluk: They loved it...they drank to me, straight from the bottle of Scotch I believe it was, couldn't quite make out what they were saying (very strong Scottish accent) but they offered the bottle, I managed to refuse kindly while showing what would happen if I had a drink with them by shaking my hand holding the camera....;) in between their English smothered with Scottish and My English flavoured with French, we had quite a chuckle
oh and this was in Nfld ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Great capture Lorraine. I like how you framed the shot. I like the old boat and hull. Nice angel. Similar scene to what I grew up with.
19 May 2008 4:07pm
@Barbara: Thanks so much Barbara, I love it when my photo brings back memories ;) it's in Newfoundland by the way...
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece
nice framing and colors Lorraine - good work
19 May 2008 4:27pm

MJ from Delaware, United States
I like the men in the background who seem to be parked also... nice framing and composition
19 May 2008 6:46pm
@MJ: Thanks a lot MJ, they were having a lot of fun watching me take photos ;)
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Love the proportion you gave to the derelict!
19 May 2008 7:25pm
@Craig: Hey Craig, thanks so much
ps they weren't derelicts, derelicts don't offer you a drink from their bottle of Scotch ;)
Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan
Looks like the boat needs a bit of restoration - interesting image.
19 May 2008 8:11pm
@Scotfot: Bob, isn't that half the fun though, of course it wasn't MY boat ;)
Anne from White Rock, Canada
Just love this photo with the road leading us right down to the water's edge. I really love the perspective :-)
19 May 2008 8:26pm
@Anne: That's a sweet comment, thanks so much Anne :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Nice water's edge photo, Lorraine. I can't help it, but as I looked at this one boat I began wondering if Noah had a much more compact ark in Canada... hahaha!
19 May 2008 9:08pm
@Viewfinder: thanks so much Vf, love your comment (of course) :) it's in Newfoundland!
standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Très belle capture Lorraine. J'aime beaucoup la perspective!
19 May 2008 9:09pm
@standley: Merci beaucoup Richard, c'est apprécié ;)
Ras from Plano, United States
I guess some people park cars, others boats in the back or front of the house.
19 May 2008 9:35pm
@Ras: lol I guess anything's possible, we live in a crazy world Ras :)
Cheryl from Texas, United States
I agree with "observing", I'd love to see it in b&w! nice compo
19 May 2008 10:05pm
@Cheryl: and you're also right on (as is Mike from Observing) it's so much better in b&w lol
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Une bonne composition qui mène notre regard jusqu'aux personnages. Bon, s'ils attendent des clients pour un ballade en bateau, j'espère que les autres sont en meilleur état... 0-))
19 May 2008 10:41pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup Evelyne, ils s'amusaient plutôt à me regarder prendre des photos, très gentils aussi ils m'ont offert leur bouteille de Scotch (un soir de Scotch? j'adore cette chanson lol)
@laughingwolf: I'd say yes :)
e. from New York, NY, United States
Great capture! It's certainly what doesn't come to mind when I think of something that's "parked." :)
20 May 2008 1:53am
@e.: It's always fun to surprise you girl ;)
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Afghanistan
Great pov, Lorraine!! Excellent comp! Hope your long weekend was fantastic, eh!!

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
just curious,how do they ever get themselves to sea?
20 May 2008 2:42am
@tyan: lol hopefully they don't 'cause that bottle of Scotch looked pretty empty ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore

20 May 2008 2:42am
