i look forward every day to seeing your latest photograph! i'd love to know what body of water the pictures portray. i went to a map of your area to try and figure it out but was confused.

@kathy: Hey Kathy, it's called the Outaouais River or Ottawa River, although this is from the section Gatineau, Quebec and the other side is Ottawa, Ontario, so we border two provinces ;) Glad you enjoyed ;)

Rui from Leiria, Portugal
What or where were they looking at? The windsurf guy? The landscape? Or just standing there? That's an interesting moment. In my opinion, they were admiring the windsurf guy and commenting how easy it should be... LOL Very well captured indeed Lorraine!
