River Mist.



I do hope you are not yet bored by my obsession with Penryn River and the way the light varies so creating new palettes of colour, new visions of the boats moored against the banks? Today the early mist hovered giving shrouded views in much the same manner as that of a lady's face through a veil.



Blurred edges where banks meet water, trees meet sea for this is a tidal river fed by the waters flowing into the River Fal from the ocean beyond.



Delicate patterns like ink dropped into water, the velvety droplets left to disperse with the current



Soft; shrouded; hidden; veiled ... evocative imagery of something concealed and therefore also something to be revealed. Layers to uncover as in the best gothic tales



and yet no ripples show on this calm surface.



Just tranquility.



I hope your day is tranquil too x

  3. As Kate says "stunning photos". I can almost feel the dampness and smell the air! If ever you tire of sewing you could take up photography as a way to make a living. Cards using your photos would seel I am sure!

  5. I can never get bored with Penryn River or Cornwall! Lovely photos Pipany - I really like the one where the ripples in the water look as if they've been drawn by some unseen hand - beautiful!

    The rivers of South Devon and South Cornwall are, to me, one of the most beautiful sights in the world and remind me of home! x
