Taken in the historic village of Maitland, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
"The lower 30 km of the river (from the point where the Stewiacke River meets to the mouth) is tidal and the river experiences a tidal bore twice daily, with some bores reaching up to 3 m in height at certain points along the river. Local tourism operators offer adventure seekers a chance to ride with the bore on high-horse power Zodiac Hurricanes. It is also a popular surfing spot for experienced Sea Kayakers." - Wikipedia
The terrace field of yuan yang is used for rice growing, water buffalo grazing and fish raising. It is irrigated by the natural rain fall. The terraces are carved on a hillside to allow gravity to feed the rain and groundwater to all the field. Looking down from a hilltop village, the terrace field reflects off the coloured sky during the sunrise.
Leaves from Fall were floating in the pond water, fed by a fresh water stream. It made for some nice reflections also.

I have taken several pictures from this place with a view of the river Tista. This day the clouds over the river were so beautiful and reflected in the river, so then one more picture was added to the gallery
FAUX WATERCOLOR WASH: Marina Sea Floor & Reflections, 4/2018. (1/2 - of a set of icy cool and flaming tangerine.)
La Fiumara is an artificial canal, dug in 1834 to complete the hydraulic reclamation works of the large marshy area that once extended between Grosseto and Castiglione della Pescaia, in the southern part of Tuscany.
Its correct name is Canale di San Leopoldo and the mouth is normally silted up, being opened only by flood waters, mainly in autumn.
Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
~Jack Johnson (Upside Down Lyrics)
A Quiet Crossing
Sometimes all you need is a quiet riverbank and a boat waiting for the right moment.
The Korana flowed softly today — blue, calm, reflective — like a gentle reminder that crossings in life don’t happen in a rush.
They happen when the light settles, and when the heart breathes out.
This old boat knows it well: stillness is just another form of movement.
Mirni prijelaz
Ponekad je dovoljno stati uz obalu i pustiti rijeci da ispriča što mi još ne znamo izgovoriti.
Korana je danas bila tiha poput misli koje se vraćaju na svoja početna mjesta — plavkasta, mirna, kao da čuva svaki odraz neba samo za sebe.
A stari čamac… on stoji tu, spreman na put, ali bez žurbe. Čeka svoj trenutak. Čeka popodne. Čeka onog tko će mu povjerovati da se svaki prijelaz događa polako, ali sigurno.
A nice thing to do is to walk along the river promenade where there are several places to sit down for a break or just enjoy the view and listen to the birds singing.
The river Tista, also called Tistedalselva (Tistedalsriver) or Tistakanalen (Tistacanal), is a river in Halden municipality
in Viken. It is the main river in the Halden watercourse and
flows from Femsjøen to Iddefjorden.
After a nice hike, the time has come to turn around and go back before it gets too dark. When the sun is going down the degrees drop and I have to put on a sweater and close my jacket.
Right here I stopped for a few minutes, enjoying the silence and the evening that descends over the lake. A blanket of soft light clouds slowly but surely approaches, and soon covers the surface of the lake with its colors and reflection.
I couldn't wish for anything more, I got it all!
🌊 The Barges Lighthouse – Vendée, Atlantic Coast 🇫🇷
🗼 History & Facts:
The Phare des Barges is an offshore lighthouse located about 2 km from La Chaume, facing Les Sables-d’Olonne, Vendée, France.
✨ Built between 1858 and 1861, it was designed to mark dangerous rocky shallows (“les barges”) and to protect ships navigating the Bay of Biscay.
💡 Key details:
Height: 24.8 m (81 ft)
Elevation: 31.3 m (102 ft) above sea level
Material: granite masonry tower
Light range: 13.5 nautical miles (approx. 25 km)
Automation: Since 1987, it no longer has permanent keepers.
Architect: Léonce Reynaud, a major French lighthouse engineer of the 19th century.
️ Significance:
This lighthouse has withstood Atlantic storms and strong tidal currents for over 160 years, acting as a silent guardian for sailors navigating the wild Vendée coastline.
🎇 Special note:
Due to its offshore isolation, maintenance and construction were challenging, requiring complex logistics with landing only possible at low tide and calm sea. It remains an emblematic maritime heritage site of the region.
Le phare des Barges est situé à 2 km de La Chaume, appartenant à la commune des Sables-d'Olonne. Il a été inauguré le 14 octobre 1861.

I want to dedicate this shot to the oceans of the world. Because if we don't take good care of them and stop filling them with plastics and other contaminants, in the future it will be impossible to enjoy our oceans.
5:54 pm, the sun hangs low, glowing through the haze. Tree branches stretch across the frame, breaking up the soft orange light. There's a quiet cityscape behind it all—power lines, buildings, the usual urban touch. What I couldn't get to work with this shot when uploading to Flickr were the crushed blacks. Not the best, but I like the shot, so here it is.
