If Vettriano painted Pooley Bridge

Wow! I heard there were floods there, but this is beyond belief! Is that the camp site!

Great shot mate! I particularly like the glistening water and the happy look on the chaps faces!

How are you two getting along now, have your nasty coughs gone yet?

Oh, what do you think about the 'New Look Panoramio' Keith? It makes it a tad easier for me as the thumbnails are larger, but I am afraid I may get the dreaded 'Scrollers finger' !

Keepahaad marras!

Mike

Der!

I see now that's an umbrella, I first thought it was a tent in the water, just as well the thumbnails are bigger!

I hope you got the Vettriano reference, Mike.

The coughs are beginning to subside, thanks, howzu?

I rather like the new look, but when I first saw my profile spiel on the front page I felt a bit naked, but it does make it easier to see who has wrote a profile and who hasn't.

Thanks for the words, Keith.

wrote? written? rotted? rotten?

Me fine

Foot a little better

brain somewhat 'relaxed' right now, sampling Napoleon Brandy (birthday present)

Sorry, the title went right over my head! But no mind, this is another grand photo! I like the sparkly water and the position of the two guys under the umbrella. It is another that makes you want to look right away!

Glad to hear your feeling better. I meant to inquire last night but then forgot & couldn't find the right post.

Happy birthday, Mike!

Wow! So many comments from joyfotos! I am just off to bed and will reply to them all tomorrow.

The title was due to the scene reminding me of paintings by the Scottish artist, Jack Vettriano.

Many thanks jf.

How funny! I just saw this lovely painting in the lobby of the motel we stayed in this fall in Galveston, Texas! Now I know who it is by!

Bloody 'ell!

At least that comment isn't aimed at the trousers!!!! :)

Keith

What a witty title to accompany such a shot. I love that painting!

I must agree with everyone concerning the glistening water! It is beautiful.

Do you know these two fellows? It's somehow a rather funny shot, and I don't even know the circumstances. It's just the way that they're looking at the photographer I suppose. Surprised? Guilty? Annoyed? I'm not sure, but it suggest humor from my standpoint.

An interesting shot and very fitting title. =)

Best regards,

Mary Alice

These two fellows were helping people in and out of the hire boats. They saw me taking photos and I don't know if they realised I had turned the camera on them.

Thanks for calling in Mary Alice. I am always delighted to read your comments.

Best wishes, Keith

Great shot, Keith, and thanks for introducing me to an artist I ddn't now...I do like his pictures very much.

This is an interesting narrative, and the title and comments fill it in more.

Greetings from Miami,

Mary

Thanks Mary. I am glad you like it.

Best wishes for the festive season.

Keith

Is it like the Forth Bridge, they have to paint it every year?

Keith are you sure Vettriano is Scottish, it sure don't sound like no Fife name to me!

I love the look on them blokes faces though......

Stay warm (if you can get warm).

Thanks Jethro. When I saw Vettriano interviewed on the telly, he sounded like the real thing.

Long Johns are in use every day!
