I was thinking it should be kind of desolate out there but the way it is presented, it's inviting and not desolate at all. Maybe it's all the holiday goings on and the need for a quiet and lonely place. Thanks for taking me there, Robin. (Btw, it wasn't all that cold that day - in the mid forties - and those young Amish boys have lots of hot blood coursing through their veins, I'm sure.)
Interesting that Lucy finds it harsh and desolate - I sighed and thought, 'Beautiful...!' Meanwhile, I'm more apt to find desert landscapes to be foreboding, even with their neutral or warm color palette.
The encrusted shells give a wonderful patina to the ring of rocks that surround this gorgeous curve of a bay, Robin. there is an olde-worldy feel to your contribution this week.
Health and happiness to you and yours as we enter 2010.
What a magnificent, relaxing place. I can imagine the silence, the sound of the waves... Curious detail of the pines over the rocks. My best wishes to you and the ones you love.
I think it's both calm and somehow sad, possibly because the tide seems to be out. I'd love to clamour over those rocks, and also to find out what the distant land mass is. Lovely shot, Robin.
Very beatuiful landscape and shot!:-)
ReplyDeleteWish you a blessed Christmas!
Seems a harsh and desolate landscape. I'm wondering if, in colour, it suddenly becomes springlike and cheerful?

Wonderful shot. The rocks and water are both so great in monochrome. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy New Year to come.
ReplyDeleteYou have got a fine composition here that gives both framing and depth. Seasons greeting's to you, too!
ReplyDeleteInteresting landscape.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays!

ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of the b&w scene
ReplyDeleteThis one is a real classic Robin. I like the B&W. Thanks for stopping by. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Oh, my, my, my.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second shot today that's instantly brought Silly Wizard's "The Fisherman's Song" to mind.
And that's a good thing. A really really good thing.
Awesome!

ReplyDeleteLovely landscape. I like the way the monochrome brings out the definition in the rock.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the calm, peaceful crowd. Beautiful in monochrome, and probably also in color.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo my friend. I love monochrome :)
ReplyDeleteIts so very monochromatic in feel ... ethereal ...
ReplyDeleteWish you a blessed Christmas! this pic looks cold , lonely in mono
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. Hope you had a lovely week.

Lovely shot, Robin.
Acadia is a beautiful place. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteNice photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family.
The perfect shot for mono. I like the different shades of rocks next to the lighter shade of water.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
ReplyDeleteAcadia is one of my favorite places!
ReplyDeleteLovely wintery landscape. ~ Calico Contemplations
