There's still plenty of time to enter for those who haven't done so yet.

I did go out to take a photo of a boat this month but it didn't turn out as good as this one which I'd taken previously.

This one has a lovely golden glow to it that contrasts nicely with the blue sky.


Second place.

Nice composition the way the boats are all so similar and pointing the same way presumably because of the tide. Living in a landlocked country, it's years since I even saw the sea but this one made me want to pack my trunks and head off for the Caribbean if I wasn't so poor and still in lockdown.


This months winner.

What a perfectly timed photo to capture all those boats against that beautiful golden sunset so well done and over to you to set this month's theme.

[FurtiveFreddy]

Thanks for awarding me 2nd and well done TheRainmaker!

[djsmith74]

Thanks for the 3rd place, and well done Rainmaker! Some cracking entries this month!

[TheRainMaker]

Wow, thank you neilski.

I will have a quick think about this month and post in a bit

Falmouth 2019 I think.

Rubbish pic but it seemed canny at the time.

Another crappy pic that I took of the RFA Cardigan Bay near Abu Dhabi from a US Navy Sea Dragon that took us out for a jolly.
