I must admit I truly like this picture. I could stare at it for long minutes. Crime scene: a hotel bathroom in Italy. It was a glass washbasin and a bit of running water, the flash (combined with the ceiling light) did the rest. The picture without both lightening effects wasn't any good.
I am posting very early ( but I am not the only one) because I am leaving this afternoon to go to Valencia. Why? you might like to read here and here about the America's Cup event currently taking place there. No, I am not taking part in the competition, no team would like to have me as I often get sea sick . We will be sailing to watch the saturday race from an historical ship like the pictured here, I am taking extra batteries for my digital cam along! I will be therefore late visiting your "shiny" pictures, bear with me! Happy weekend!!
I just wondered what it was, the picture is really very special and beautiful. Enjoy your day that must be very nice ! We have 16° here, it's just like almost winter !
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting a fabulous cyber cruise report on this with a lot of pic of he ships :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna miss the opportunity here in Sweden with the Tall Ship race in the end of July, because we're on the summer island Fårö then... *mutterings*
W-O-W!!
