A Rare Phenomenon
The marks on the water are caused by a very rare occurrence called rainfall. Here is a short explanation for those of you who don't understand the concept of rain.
Rain is liquid precipitation: water falling from the sky. Raindrops fall to Earth when clouds become saturated, or filled, with water droplets. Millions of water droplets bump into each other as they gather in a cloud. When a small water droplet bumps into a bigger one, it condenses, or combines, with the larger one. As this continues to happen, the droplet gets heavier and heavier. When the water droplet becomes too heavy to continue floating around in the cloud, it falls to the ground.
In this case it lasted for about 10 minutes and the phenomenon has not been seen since.

Seriously though, this is a lovely photo........I love the lines of that beautiful old wooden motor boat (and it's distorted reflection) and that looks like another interesting boat on the left. I like the lovely greenery as well and the wild flowers on the bank side.
So.......those marks on the water.......what are they really?

Times are a´changing ;-)
when I was at school (long time ago) our English teacher showed us some letters to the editor (I can't remember, perhaps The Times) re a rare astronomical phenomenon, a yellow ball seen for some minutes between the clouds....
