Boat Bouquet.
Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 26 July 2007 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.
This was in the beautiful park in Scarborough, on the boating lake, I titled this capture "boat bouquet", as all the boats are named after flowers
This looks better if you view it large :)

@Nickyj: Thanks Nicky :) it was a beautiful park, and we went on the pedalos, that were shaped like big green dragons! lol it was great fun :D
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
You're right... It does look like a bouquet, Mary! Well seen. The tight framing makes this an exciting image of colourful shapes.

@Andrew Gould: Thank you Andrew,
they had just closed the boating pool and had tied all these boats up, there was little jetty infront of them but it was all locked up, wouldn't have minded getting on there to take a few shots :)
Celialee from Kyoto, Japan
Ah...how interesting! At first I thought they were girls' names.

@Celialee: So did I Celialee :) that was until I saw the boat named cornflower, then I realised that they were flower names :)
@Myst: Thanks Myst, Scarborough, seemed quite a colourful place :)

very nice! Very nice colors, and very funny to find names like that for boats. The presence of the big duck that looks in your direction is great!

@Soph: Thank you Soph, usually boats on a boating pool have numbers, so it was very nice to see that these had names :)

And they are equally colorful as the flowers. Wonderful framing again.
PS : Get the photoshop buds, and Ian would be really jealous. ;-) You sure are gonna fall in love with it.

I have photoshop on my list and I'm going to do a complete begginers course in it at college :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Nice one, and very well spotted. Did you go for a row?
26 Jul 2007 9:38pm
@Richard_Irwin: We did go on the pool, but not in one of these, we chose to go around in a big green dragon pedalo!!!! a little childish but great exercise too, and lots of fun :D
Thank you Richard.
