Water on Granite - Winter Morning


Over the ages water has worn these slight channels into this solid granite river bottom shelf. On a cold morning with the light just right the water looks almost inky blue-black against the rusty rock. A few mud film provides a lighter yellowish color along the channels.

Yet another meandering passage and it’s a very striking one. I’m curious: is that a rocky landscape? Is it winter vegetation? Did you make the image from the air? Pray tell!

Meandering … Colin took the words right out of my mouth! A fine image this is, soothing, calming down. Works very well for me.

A fine shot with excellent composition. I like it’s dual role of a landscape and abstract – all at the same time. Very well done.

Illusion or not, this is an outstanding image, Earl. I love the colors but the composition is just beautiful.

I agree, the curving lines do offer a soothing feel. But, the contrast of the blue and rust color are what tug at me. Got my vote on this one, Earl!

Very nice image! I love simple compositions as opposed to the complex, chaotic types.

Wow – what a striking image, Earl. The dark blue colour of the water complements the warm surroundings very well.
It really looks like a vast landscape and I thought you had taken that photograph while looking out of a plane. What a wonderful illusion.

Beautifully done, Earl. I hardly recognize the place! Speaking of which, we need to do one of our Saturday morning get-togethers!

Earl, I would label this “Oil Spill” if it didn’t have such negative associations. :-) I think it is a gorgeous shot. It demonstrates the power of light to completely transform a scene.

I’m a little late getting around to this, but I’m finally getting sort of caught up on making my rounds.

This is superb Earl. Ranks right up there as one of your very best. The color… the movement… the simplicity — beautiful and perfect.
