    Is it me or is the scale off. The swan looks like it’s behind the car and yet looks larger. Interesting.

      The swan is behind the boat. But it is gigantic, because it is a boat as well, and not a real swan. 🙂

    The swan looks like one of those paddle boats! I’ve only seen the cars that can go in the water on FB. Nice capture! 😁

      Yes, it is. As is the car. Sadly they exchanged all the rudder boats. You know, these old wooden ones. I liked them a lot more than these strange plastic boats that try to look like something else.

        So true. Some call it progress. Sigh… I’m torn!

    Small car or a large swan? No. Giant man.

    I like your composition – reminds me of what they did in the movie franchise Lord of the Rings where the humans dwarfed (pun intended) the dwarfs and the hobbits

      Thank you, Eric.
      Maybe I should start writing a script. 🙂

    The Lake has so many secrets to share. This is ‘one’, the man see. For the rest, you’ve to go under. 🙂

      Well, that is an artificial lake – I don’t think there are too many secrets there. But we will never know unless we go for a dive. 🙂

    De toeschouwer en het scenario. Bij een foto als deze zijn meerdere verhalen te verzinnen waarbij de kijker zijn fantasie de vrije loop kan laten. De achtergrond heeft dan ook precies de juiste gradatie van wazigheid

      Dank je. Ik was hier een beetje aan het experimenteren met scherptediepte.

    Ich mag Plastik überhaupt nicht mehr. Dieses einst als grosser Fortschritt gefeierte Material ist drauf und dran, die Welt zu zerstören…
    Ich wünsche dir einen angenehmen Sonntag. Ernst

      Nun, es kommt darauf an, wie man damit umgeht – und wie man es entsorgt.
      Dir auch einen schönen Sonntag.

    A man looks across a park lake, barely able to remember the joys of his own childhood, he is perplexed and drawn to the amusements at the boat rental. How does he get there? Is it even possible? What does he do once there and all alone?

      You asked the right questions to turn the photo into a story.
      Thanks!

    Your stuff is so FUN (except when it is industrial landscapes). Thanks for the smiles.
