Today marks my third anniversary for participating in Wordless Wednesday. I took this shot at about 6am the other day -- the tree limbs are actually reflections in the pond. This was taken with the camera in my Droid.
It's a beautiful photo, Beth. Also a bit surreal, as you can't really distinguish what is in the front or back (never would've imagined the tree was a reflection in the water!).
@Indrani -- I was standing on a bank above the reeds so the water / reflection was the in the background. The pond was so still that you can't tell it's water and not sky.
Three years of amazing photos! You're the reason I joined in on the Wordless Wednesday thing in the first place. I so admire your eye and talent with a camera (and phone).

What a fantastic shot, so very atmospheric and eerily still looking. I am amazed that the tree limbs are in fact reflections, it throws the whole picture out of perspective when you know that, an amazing piece of work.
I am realy surprised by the quality of pictures that can be achieved with an android phone these days, my husband rarely takes his regular camera out any more, choosing to snap away with the 'droid' instead.
Phone cameras these days take beautiful pictures and I love my iPhone. It's wonderful. I like this picture and you did a great job with the reflection. I wouldn't have known if you didn't made that note.

ReplyDeleteA phone camera? wow.

ReplyDeleteA stunning shot!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing shot indeed from a camera phone -well done and kinda eerie as well.
ReplyDeleteYou have such an eye for shots like this. It has a very eerie quality to it. I'm not sure I would have given that scene a second look.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your third annv. :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out the tree's reflection in water.
Lovely.... too bad the 'official' WW site is asleep this morning

ReplyDeleteHappy WW anniversary! Your picture is rather eerie looking.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! And I love that picture on your blog, the bridge. Where was that taken?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot with the phone camera! Amazing these days, isn't it? The tree branches give it such an eerie feeling.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a hurricane hit!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot, Beth. And, it is surprising the quality of cell phone cameras these days.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW Anniversary!

I like this. I've taken pictures of our ponds in early morning when the water is still, but don't have your eye for a great shot.
ReplyDeleteThis has a haunting quality to it. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot! Very atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! The different perspectives of the branches and the reeds are mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It has a distinctly Tim Burtony quality.
ReplyDelete@Lori: I took that photo in Brugge
ReplyDelete@Andi: Wow. Thanks!

Beautiful shot, eerie. Even knowing what it was it took me a while to put it together.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. At first, it looked to me like broken beams and boards. I suppose I have ruins on the mind at the moment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 3 years of WW! It's amazing to see how far phone cameras have come in that time.
I love the light in this one.

What a lovely post.

wow - awesome photo
ReplyDeletehaunting. At first glance (and before I read the comments), I thought we were looking down a dock/pier with a masted boat in the distance.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't need glasses ... that was just a first glance.
Fun perspective.
Glad you explained about the reflection. I was trying to figure out how the tree was at that angle! Nice perspective and an interesting capture.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you explained too - I did think that was the sky in the background. Fantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like one creepy setting. All foggy-like and dark. You always find the most outstanding photos to take.
