This paddler on the Waikato River may have been too focused on working against the current to notice the sunrise unfolding in front of him?!
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 !
Two years ago I saw a shot by lakaluka that I just loved. It left an impression on me so much that I decided to take a pic as an ode to that shot. It was a 45 degree shot at the beach . She was on a paddle board with water beading on her skin. I really like how it grabbed me and placed me right in the middle of summer. It's strange how a pic can illicit emotion, not in the dirty way many of you would think, it just gave me great summer vibes.
Here is the link to her pic

Here is my recreation.
There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace.

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.
This lady told me afterward that she enjoyed the paddling in such a serene place so much that she could not describe the feeling with words. I'm sure she did as I appreciated the beautiful sunset and the turning fall colors with mirror-like reflections.
Still water and clear sky as we transition from winter to spring. Our goal was to capture a beautiful sunset on the first Spring evening paddle.
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.
Bella & Penny enjoying a paddle at Booley Bay today, with the Co. Waterford coastline in the distance. It was an unseasonably mild 12C with a light breeze, just enough to be refreshing rather than bracing!
Wishing all my wonderful Flickr friends a very Merry Christmas & a safe, peaceful New Year. Thank you for your support & encouragement during this very trying year.

Bow lake: in a cloudy morning; amazed by the magnificent peaks and reflections on the lake. The view is stunning. Few people around, spending some time walking around the lake, the scenery of Canadian Rockies is out of this world. Was about to leave, found a guy paddling on the lake, returning again, following this guy for a while, the reflection was intervening by the waves, but giving the different perspective.
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.

Sure sign of spring. The paddlers are out. Don't fall in - water temperature 3 degrees C not balmy nor is outside temperature of minus 3 degrees C.
