Pedal Boats

[John Dailey]

Here we are at Mill Creek Lake in Kentucky’s Natural Bridge State Resort Park. I just love the bright colored boats against the fall colors! This is one of my few “landscape” photos. The boats were removed years ago.

(Kodachrome 64 – Circa 1983).

I like how you lined up the row of boats to center in the light pole at the shore line, reminiscent of a set of goal posts.

Thanks, Robert! I believe that alignment was a complete accident. I was more concerned about placing the trees behind the dock a near a 1/3 vertical.

There is a remarkably similar scene just south of Sydney in the Royal National Park. I havnb’t actually shot it yet, but will next time I take my kids down there!

Sounds Great, Rob! I will probably retire in few years. I’m been thinking about a trip “down under.” I wonder if you know someone who offers photo excursions?

Hi John, the colours do look really good in front of the autumn trees.

Thanks, Diane! I lived in Kentucky for 17 years. Natural Bridge State Park was one of my favorite destinations. Somehow, this was one of few “wide shots” I took. Instead, I was looking for the small scenes I often find attractive. This image was taken that same day.
