North of Normal

Durham, boats on the River Wear,

Just took this with my point-and-shoot Sony digicam without thinking about it very much. I just pointed the camera and got the shot. Funny how sometimes the best “compositions” are just sitting there waiting to be captured in a photo.

Fiddled with the color and contrast a bit in Photoshop, but other than that I didn’t do anything to deliberately “compose” this photo. The scene felt as tranquil as it looked, and I just managed to capture it.

Another English sky. One of the better photos I took there.
