Weekend Photo
The End of the Day

Pondering Question
When first announced in February 2012, I’d placed an order for a Nikon D800 to replace my Nikon D700. After a couple of months of waiting I canceled that order because I was having second thoughts on how or if I really needed a camera with so many mega pixels. I’ve thought a number of times about ordering one again and had even thought I would upon our return from Italy.
Autumn weather roulette in the NC mountains
We escaped to the cloudy, foggy, misty, rainy, sunny North Carolina mountains this weekend with friends. On Saturday it was one of those days where if you didn’t like the current weather you need only wait a little while or drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway a piece for it to change. The day began early with a mountain vigil for a sunrise which never broke through the clouds…
Now that is a nice image and I love the title. It’s images like these that inspire me to continue along this journey in photography. Have a good Sunday!
What a sunset, I wouldn’t mind being on that sail boat, not at all… A nice detail is the lanterns, which you captured very well. Look at the green one’s (at the steer) reflection in the water.
Monte, looking at this photo I could image a story of four close friends out for a day on the boat. Time slips by and as the day draws to a close they make a run back home while sharing the final moments on deck. Somehow the title seemed obvious. :-)
Ove, thanks! That green light/lanterns reflection was a surprise. When I took the photo I didn’t notice it but during post-processing it was a treasure discovered. Now I think it makes the photo.
What an outstanding photo and suggests all sorts of intriguing stories. That quote is a knockout.
@Anita: Thanks!
You’re right about the stories. Perhaps these people were returning from dumping the body of their X business partner at sea after he caught them embezzling funds from the company, and I’ve got photographic evidence. :-0
