JoeB from Brampton, CanadaI love the blue in frozen ice, a spell of frozen temperatures you must be getting where just hovering around the freezing mark. 25 Nov 2008 12:31pm @JoeB: Yep at that time it went down to minus 20, we're back up now around minus 2 -7, snowing, you know...like normal Canadians, hum lol thanks a lot Joe Vink from Grasse - French riviera, FranceIl fait combien de degré en ce moment chez toi ?

Beau rendu de la glace… 25 Nov 2008 4:58pm @Calusarus: Merci Frederic, je crois qu'il faut une couple de semaines dans les MOINS 20, au moins...mais habituellement les villes annoncent 'officiellement' l'ouverture des activites sur glaces @kerfendal: Eh oui Max, l'hiver est arrive :) @yiannis krikis: Thanks very much Yiannis, I appreciate it :) Pixim from Nice, FranceComme c'est étrange, le cadrage qui superpose différents plans m'interroge, l'impression d'une base servant aux vaisseaux extra-terrestres. Dans tous les cas, j'espère qu'il vous sera possible de patiner entre deux atterrissages ;) 25 Nov 2008 6:39pm @Pixim: LOL, j'aimerais bien voir un être d'ailleurs se retrouvé soudainement sur la glace, imagine la surprise, merci pour ce gentil commentaire :) @Alun Lambert: ...and it will get colder, thanks a lot Alun :) @Jean-Benoît Maréchal: Merci beaucoup Jean-Benoît :) Gary from Cochise County, United StatesThe lines and curves draw you in and I keep trying to figure out what i'm looking at as far as the subject. Any help will be appreciated. is it a dock of some sort? What ever it is it's lovely. 25 Nov 2008 9:13pm @Gary: I hesitated before because I took the photo from a corner I've never been too, but now I realise yes they are the place where sail boats anchor well in the summer anyway, thanks somuch ;) Scotfot from Kabul, AfghanistanInteresting and contrasting patterns - well spotted! 25 Nov 2008 9:54pm @Scotfot: Yhanks a lot Bob, I appreciate your visit :) Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceJoliment graphique... mais ça me glace le sang... vivement le soleil et la chaleur... pour moi c'est à la fin de la semaine... :-)) 25 Nov 2008 10:12pm @Evelyne Dubos: Merci Evelyne, j'y suis habitué donc pas trop traumatisé par ça ;) Andrew Gould from Sydney, AustraliaSo well seen, Lorraine. You are a master of making something very interesting out of what many would not spot at all! Great lines. 25 Nov 2008 10:25pm @Andrew Gould: Thanks so much Andrew for your constant support and great suggestions, I appreciate it :) Les from Lincoln, United StatesGreat perspective, Lorraine. If I didn't know it was a lake, I'd swear I was looking down from the top of a building (the other side of the lake looks like the ground). 25 Nov 2008 11:14pm @Les: thanks so much Les, the background is rocks parallel to the sidewalk, this is the place where sailboats are anchored in the summer. In Mid-January, then we're in the freezing zone, you know Minus 20 to Minus 40 with windshield, a killer for sure ;) JJ from Jersey City, United Stateswhat an amazing capture of the lake freezing over, I to am intrigued about the things on the left, it does look like it is somewhere boats or canoes start or tie off they metal portions do look liked the things ropes tie off on 26 Nov 2008 12:10am @JJ: Good eye JJ that's exactly what they are...anchors to the sailboats in the summer, the background is rocks :) Thanks a lot akarui from Kagoshima, JapanPlus aucun bateau amarre aux pontons, ils les sortent de l'eau pour passer l'hiver? La glace semble couvrir deja toute la surface de l'eau. Tres belle photo que ce soit au niveau graphisme ou au niveau couleurs. 26 Nov 2008 12:46am @akarui: Merci beaucoup Olivier, c'est exactement ça :) Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesMagnificent capture, Lorraine - a great composition. I'll be interested in what details you discover about ' the docks' as well. 26 Nov 2008 12:53am @Stephen Phillips: They are docks Stephen, anchors for the sailboats in the summer ;) Thanks so much! Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesVery interesting... I have never seen this happen - well, on TV but really like this shot... take care 26 Nov 2008 2:18am @Fliss: OOO now that's a nice comment, thanks a lot Fliss ;) bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaA wonderful abstract Lorraine. I was reading through the comments trying to find out what the lines are on the left, I too thought they were rowing starts. I like this :) 26 Nov 2008 4:01am @bluechameleon: Hey Sweet Blue, they're mini docks for anchoring the sail boats in the summer, I caught the river before it got completely iced ;) Kylie Greenan from Richmond, AustraliaThis is great, looking mighty chilly over your way sweetie, hope you are staying warm? Great image! 26 Nov 2008 4:34am @Kylie Greenan: I'm very good at that...Keeping warm, that is, thanks so much Kylie;) @amy: Thanks so much Amy, I appreciate the visit, since I know how busy you are ;) Barbara from Florida, United StatesWalking on thin ice, not sure why but that is what first came to mind. There is something about this image I cannot explain, perhaps it takes me back to when the lake behind my childhood home had that first freeze. 27 Nov 2008 1:35am @Barbara: As long as they're pleasant memories, I'm happy :) thanks so much Barb! dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United Statesjust awesome -- works brilliantly as an abstract too! yes!! 27 Nov 2008 8:56am @dj.tigersprout: Thanks a lot D.j ;) terrorkitten from Bath, United KingdomGreat composition Lorraine - almost abstract....a cracker 28 Nov 2008 2:49pm @terrorkitten: ooo Phil I like crackers lol thanks a lot! |
