The Boating Lake

A beautiful day before the summer season started, so the lake is almost eerily still and no boats or even breeze break its surface. It is late afternoon and the sun is low but still bright, creating the warm colours on the rooftops and walls. The blue sky is mirrored perfectly in the glass-like water, as are the buildings and structures in the lake, making them appear almost to hover in mid-air. The red board on the small tower shows the numbers of the boats that will soon be set out into the lake, and it creates a nice vivid focal point for the picture. Location: Hastings, England
