Another from my 'Paddle Away' series, captured late afternoon - 'Popeye Village' - Anchor Bay, limits of Mellieha (Mala). The colour & tones of the sea provided an ideal backdrop for this simple composition.
Thank you for your time to view.
Wishing you all a splendid day !
A couple of stand-up paddlers have the whole lake to themselves as they head off into the sunset in Niagara on the Lake.
There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace.

Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul (song text: French/Turkish lyrics)
Lying down on a rock in the middle of Kanlica,
I make my tears swim towards Hisar,
There’s nothing left to do, she wanted to go and went away
Though I understand, it pains me deeply, as it ended so one-sidedly.
I now need the lodos (southwest winds), a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
What a pity, how man is defeated by himself,
No cure for betrayal has been found, the heart is an immense black void
Nothing can be done, that’s just how the heart is, it only loved
I’m about to know a new skin, a new excitement.
I now need the lodos (south west winds) , a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying a wretched death from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.

My submission for Smile on Saturday! A couple of kids paddling on Dinas Dinlle beach at sunset. The water must have been freezing but these two were very happy splashing about!
Paddle boards for rent at White Beach in Boracay Island. The crowd here was already sparse when this photo was taken more than a month ago. Now it is almost completely deserted due to the Coronavirus lockdown.
Yesterday I spotted this guy paddling the channel. It was 29* out and I asked him as he went by if he was freezing and he said no he was quite warm with his suit on and all. He went out front and turned around and came back thru the channel.
Also see the damage to the pier (buckling) from the waves. Ready to cave in the cement walk.
Three paddle boarder's on natural llyn padarn in Llanberis.
Its a very popular water sport ,with hundreds of people on them in the summer sunshine.
Llyn Padarn is a glacially formed lake in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north Wales, and is an example of a moraine dammed lake. The lake is approximately 2 miles long and at its deepest point is 94 feet deep, and is one of the largest natural lakes in Wales. At its south-eastern end it is linked to the neighbouring Llyn Peris.
These standup paddleboarders are on Lake Lucerne near the tiny village of Hertenstein. I was fascinated by the October light, and I suspect they were too. The looming mountain massif toward which the paddlers are looking is the Pilatus. Its highest peak is the Tomliinshorn. You can take the world's steepest cog railway to the top.
Location: Near Hertenstein, Weggis, on Lake Lucerne, Canton Lucerne, Switzerland.

What better time to go for a paddle with other kayakers on Port Phillip Bay but sunset on a sunny winter's evening? Near Sandringham Beach. We don't often get bright sunny days and clear evenings in winter. The Bureau of Meteorology has reported that while our daytime temperatures recently have been fairly normal, the evening temperatures have been substantially higher than normal. I have added some processing to this scene for Sliders Sunday. HSS
