To me it screams "The Thirty Nine Steps", great shot.

These photographs were taken beginning of May, early afternoon. A big cloud was over the ships and lots of sun where I was standing. D500 + 300mm PF.

I like the first and the last very much - great seaside weather mood scenes.

Thank you Thomas. I live very close to the sea, maybe 1 km or maybe a bit less. I cannot imagine myself living away from the sea. It changes every day, every hour, you never get tired of it. It is like having a new woman by your side every day.

Somewhere on the canal in the middle of nowhere...

Sailing competition on the Lake of Geneva. Nice conditions, wind at 17kts, ideal for these inshore tailored boats:








All pictures taken with Nikon D5 and Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6

When you shoot from a moving vehicle you some times get surprised when you put it on the big screen   
Df, 70-200 f4vr ,  It took a lot of effort to get toilets installed on the Jetty  for the fishing fleet.  I guess it is just too far to go when a man's gotta go
MF, love your boating images and Thomas, great colours and framing .

I like these - especially #1 and 2 for the light.

Shot this the other day @200mm (DX) - cropped quite a bit to emphasize the effect of heat haze.

1. Fishing boats at Elmina town, Ghana.  Taken from the walls of Elmina Castle, one of the slave factories along Cape Coast.  Elmina castle was built in 1482 by the Portuguese, which makes it the oldest surviving European building in sub-Saharan Africa.  The Portuguese made the castle a centre of the slave trade; the castle was seized by the Dutch in 1637 and the rest of the coast in 1642, and the Dutch ran the slave trade here until 1814, when Britain persuaded the Dutch to abolish their slave trade.

2.  Fishing boat, Inle Lake, Myanmar.

Fantastic shots, Les.
The misty second looks like a magazine image

I like very much the "Cape Coast" picture. The haze is adding an extra dimension. 👍
