Longboarder on Dungeness Bay
On a recent morning, this woman was calmly paddling her board across the shallow waters out towards the deeper waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, or all the way to Canada for all I know. I love the look of still water, and reflections are a bonus.

You captured an amazing shot here.
I cannot express enough how I love this photo.
The minimal disturbance of the waters and the solitude of the boater….all so very cool.

Such a beautiful shot. Love it.

That looks like fun as long as the water remains calm like that. Love all the blue tones you captured and the longboarder in his wetsuit really add a touch of mystery. Enjoy the day!

This is truly an amazing scene of this lake and the lone lady. I would never do what she is doing. It is a beautiful feature for today.

Amazing photograph and I do wonder how long this lady kept at it. She must have incredibly strong arms and back!!

Great capture…I don’t think I could stand up on one of those for too long…I’d be in the water!
Lily on 04 Sep 2010 at 11:10 am #
I wish I were there in her place!
Lovely reflection.

Beautiful moment capturing a lone figure crossing a huge expanse of softly rippling water!
ann chin on 04 Sep 2010 at 8:40 pm #
the water is so still, looks like she is just standing and doing nothing. Here in Auckland, I went to a very rough sea, and that was real challenging for a man paddling.
James on 05 Sep 2010 at 8:43 am #
That is such a cool photo!
