Autumn Sail on Lake Winnapehsawkey

[Scottes]

OK, this is the last one.


Unless I manage to get out this Sunday. If I do, you're going to get assaulted by more landscapes attempts by me. Maybe I'll even have land in them.

If you get *real* lucky I'll just give up and go back to birds, or go to a zoo or something.


OK, last one....

Just be thankful that I'm not trying portraits:

"OK, a little blue makeup on her arms and some of that orange on her beak. Um, nose. Great! OK, Charlene, flap your arms. <click> Yeah, that's excellent. <click> Work the camera! <click> <click> Now grab that sardine. <click-click-click> Yeah Baby!"

The colors of the trees are amazing! Beautiful photo! Inspiring too. Now I'll have to wander around here and see what I can... see. :)

Superb shot, looks excellent!

Makes me want to find a lake around here somewhere that has scenery like that and snap some shots.

that's a beautiful scene

did you do some (even a little) texture business (or likewise )on it at all?
just thought the trees and the water look chunky..ish

but it's nice :shock:

:?
is that lake called after an indian ?

:lol:

[Scottes]

Thanks folks.

Alas, Charlene isn't interested in posing. I'm not sure why. I offered her 3 herrings an hour, too.


Marie, the name comes from the Abenaki Native American word meaning "land around lakes." There are many lakes in this area - called the Lakes Region of New Hampshire for some reason - and several small islands in Lake Winnipesaukee itself. (I got tired of spelling it in it's semi-pronouncable way, thus the title.)

I did very little to this shot, really. I may have over-sharpened giving it a textured look. But it was also a very windy day thus creating a choppy water, so maybe that's what you see.

ok thanks Scottes :)
it's a beautiful sight


(Winnipesaukee ? :shock:
call it winnie )

:lol:

Actually, the origin of the name is not completely clear. It may be a combination of the native words winni and sorgee (which would mean smiling god).

[stoneylonesome]

Boy I hope it isn't your last landscape, It's great :D :D I also agree that the phontic spelling is fine, having been brought up in connecticut, which took me 20 years to learn how to spell, :lol: :lol: :lol: I know how tough the Indian names can be. half the rivers lakes and towns around here are derived from Indian, oops (P.C) Native American names. :P :P
I think the lake shot is as good as your birds and they are great. :D

[LazyPhotographer]

That's really, really pretty! :D
