The sight of a sailboat on the horizon just does something for me... gives me a sense of freedom from cares.This shot is from the lakefront in Mandeville looking toward New Orleans, across Lake Pontchartrain. The buildings you see are the the downtown buildings. At this point it is about 20 miles across the lake and about 5 more miles to downtown. So they are about 25 miles away. You also get a good feel for the curvature of the earth in this shot.

Wow, that's a fascinating photo. I looooove it!
ReplyDeleteGreat take of these boats on the horizon. Unusual and fascinating, well done!
ReplyDeleteEye-catching! Great job!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I agree with your comment on freedom. You feel you want to be ON a boat and sail away, leaving all your worries behind. Fat chance...
ReplyDeleteLoved your birds yesterday too - great photographs.
Great effect - the buildings and boats look like a mirage in the summer heat!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME shot! I didn't realize those were downtown buildings - I thought those were posts from an old pier, or buoys. Very cool photo!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. The sky in this one is a unique color, and makes for a neat "picture perfect" postcard effect.

Nie photograph Steve. I like the ships off the water in the distance too. An optical illusion I am guessing.
