Backwater calm.

As the sun dips over the horizon and we move into the blue hour we are treated to a scene of tranquillity reminding us of days long past.

This taken in Suffolk some time back now.

This was posted here for this month CWP competition (The Blue Hour) but on reflection was a little too red for that and so here it is for you now.

Enjoy full screen.

Here is the one substituted for the competition: www.ipernity.com/doc/1081863/50649164

Herb Riddle replied to uwschu:

Great that you enjoyed this Uwe. This was part of a series of photos taken all at once after seeing how the light was working from our caravan window so I rushed out to this spot that we had walked past earlier in the same day about 5km away.
The E-410, I loved that camera and its two bundled lenses. - In fact I still have them and they still work but I had scratched the mirror when I accidently knocked it out and had to replace it. - I must give it another go. ...... yes -just recharged the battery after 10 year rest and it still all works perfectly it seems. Incredible! The camera I got after this my Nikon 7100 has passed away just over a year ago. Who says technology has moved on!

Enjoy the day. Herb
