Comments on: "Photo Friday" (52)
Ooo…a tiny island on a partially frozen / thawing out pond? Can you imagine if it is inhabited by little beings and that is their world…and their space is the water..that freezes in winter! Can you imagine our skies…..flowing like water and then some long months when it remains frozen in time??
I know! The same thoughts went through my mind as well. I was so lucky to have spotted this -right time and place. Thanks Shree!
Loving the reflections!
Thanks!
An enchanted island, I’m looking for the Lady of the Lake to appear….
Me too:)
A miniature island, how delightful!
🙂
A beautiful little oasis of an island.. how lovely
Thank you Helen.
Beautiful composition.
Thank you
Magical shot. Lovely!
Thanks Richard!
This is a delightful, unpretentious picture of a little island with oodles of character and its own climate! If you worked on this further I think the island would lose its innocence and charm. I love it.
I’m glad Louis. Thank you:)
A micro-continent! 🙂
Another great interpretation!
Nice shot, I picture a mini shipwreck on the mini island….
Yeah, could be!
Very beautiful picture! You great captured, little island!
Have a wonderful day dear Elena and a wonderful weekend!
Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
Thanks so much Stefania! Hugs back:)
I love it. So simple and so active. Like a little world all on its own.
Yes:) Thank you Eon.
That is a very charming little island. It looks a little vulnerable but I bet it is strong and sheltering for someone. A bit magical.
A fairy island. Thank you Karen.
You could use this picture as reference for your future artworks.
It has this enveloping magical atmosphere that is found in most of your illustrations.
Thank you Marcelo, very much. I will take your comment to heart.
It makes me feel cold when I look at the picture. It’s spring, but there is still snow in the air, and even autumn is still present in the picture. It’s almost like that little island is shaking. I think it needs some company. Lovely picture, Elena.
Hello Otto! Yes, you’ve picked up all of the elements that caused me to marvel and capture the image. Not the greatest photo, but an image I wanted to share. You should have seen it in person-so odd and interesting:)
I love that picture it s a beautiful little island in the middle of winter/spring
xo
Terry
You put it so well Terry! Thanks:)
Reblogged this on wicoiye and commented:
Sernity!
A little island of it. Thanks!
[…] Photo Friday. […]
It looks like a Japanese Bonzai or Ikebana (flower arrangement)
which got its own Universe. And it’s in the real nature.
How beautiful image you created !
I does Yoshi, but all I did was snap the photo!
Really love this shot:) It’s gorgeous.
Thank you Allyson Marie! You should have seen it in real life-one of those lovely moments.
Ohhh, I like this a LOT! Wonderful!
Thank you Lemony!
Chilly…yet magical!
Thank you!
Discworld! It’s Discworld!!!! Look carefully, see the Great A’Tuin underneath? 😉
Of course! Thanks for the reality check;)
He moves among us! 🙂
Beautiful so beautiful image you captured dear Elena, so inspirational too. Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you Nia.
magical flying island! i love it.
Yeah! I was thrilled and shocked to have discovered it. Thank you Janna!
utterly utterly awesome. 🙂
Thanks:)
