Eternity

This is a place not far from where I grew up, and, when daily

stresses got to me, I used to go down to this dock to sit and let my

thoughts drift away. I had thought about making this photograph for

a long time, and, recently, when visiting the area, had a chance to

stop by the lake. I was graced with a beautiful day with a few

clouds and calm water.

I would either lose the shoreline at the top of the picture or include a bit more of it and maybe some sky above. A wider lens and a lower veiwpoint would have given a more dramatic perspective to the image - As it is the jetty leads the eye in, but the space beyond it feels rather cramped and lacks a focal point to hold the viewers attention.

This immediately reminded me of another image that I came across quite a while ago. However, when revisiting that one, I realized that is somewhat different.

This view obviously carries a lot of memories for you. It looks like a very peaceful place to sit and contemplate the world...
