Adirondac

Posted by Tracey (White Hall, United States) on 27 May 2008 in Transportation and Portfolio.

Unfortunately, the boats weren't running when we were there in April. It was considered "out of season." But, the boats and the lake were fun to photograph! Oh, and look closely at the front of the boat on the white part and you will see black spots...thousands of tiny, little, annoying flies that bite. Yuck!

I am working on a project with my kids and need your help. If you live in the United States, please check out this link to my postcrossing blog for details (look in the sidebar under 50 States Challenge):

A gorgeous boat and so well captured. Looks like a nice place. BTW, as stupid as I feel I cannot get that map to allow me to click Arkansas. Can you add me?

@sherri: Hey Sherri! Don't feel bad, the map is a widget that only I can add or subtract to. I have someone signed up for Arkansas, but I don't mind at all getting 2 cards! Thanks for offering. Email me at ipost[at]live[dot]com and I will give you my mailing address. Hugs!

That's the only downside to being by water, the pesky little biting flies!
This is a fantastic image Tracey.

We had our last night of camping in Lake George on our way back home from Georgia and Alabama at the beginning of April. Nice photo, even with the pesky flies!

NIce composition and contrst, but what is the reason of the black points?

27 May 2008 1:53am

@Arash: The black spots on the front of the boat are tons of black flies. Yuck.

The rounded form of the boat and the wharf, both receding into the mid ground provide the initial interest, although there's actually much more to delight the eye. Great work.
