Love When the Water Turns to Silk!

There is something quite soothing and spiritual about images of flowing water captured as "silk".

Here's one.

It appears that no one wants to go with the flow.

Lovely, Mac! It does have the silken appearance! I can almost imagine a fabric like that.

I want to sit and dangle my feet in the silk. Just lovely.

Reflections in still water and the phenomena of turbulence and motion in streams are among my favorite subjects.

Nice shots! Please continue to share your images.

Beautiful image regardless of how much the beer costs.

Mac,

That does look like silk... nice and smooth. As always wonderful! And you seemed to have inspired others, too!

Now how would we describe this one? Not a silk-effect, perhaps, but I liked the blues effect personally. I am no photographer, really, though.

Neetu,

You shouldn't deride your imagery; the opalescent foam in contrast with the deep blue horizon and the foreground, rocky shore makes a dreamy composition. Quite nice.

Thank you, Mac. The most beautiful things in life happen by accident - this is one of the images that simply happened! Yes, it does have a dreamy effect - I just didn't think of it!

These are, as a combination, a wonderful photo essay on the changing moods of light and water together. Thank you for posting them!

To everyone who posted a photo (or two), thank you. All were beautiful, and Mac, I spotted a brook trout in yours.

Although silk was invented in China, there sure isn't much silky water where I am:

The rock in your pic A mac almost looks like a piece of copper. Is that light refraction or the color of the rock?

I'm not certain but the color is probably due to iron and sandstone. The green would be algae or moss.

For me it is incredibly soothing to see photos of the waves rolling in. Perhaps it's because I'm Aquarius that I feel so comforted being beside the sea, a river or a lake, watching the flow.

I can sit and watch waves for hours, mesmerized. Same with campfires...

Simple pleasures for simple minds! (me, not you!) Smile.gif

Please don't sell yourself short, Dowser, you are extremely talented. Appreciation of simple pleasures does not limit a person's abilities.

Not silky.....maybe kind of like cotton.

Without having to go up and over the high rise brides around here this is the best place to see the sunset. We don't get to do this anymore but it was fun! Sunset off the Daytona Beach Main Street Bridge, as I recall. Grin.gif
