Lovely pics floating_away! You definitely have the eye for it. Mmm ponte vecchio, love that bridge. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I can relate. The 'feels like we never met' theme is very haunting. Quite beautiful Pinkrobot - painful, yet inescapable, there is something much larger at play. Might as well accept it.

Oh I forgot how windy it was there. I lived in Gonubie for a while with my grandparents when they were alive - most of my family now live in Beacon Bay. Just googled it, doesn't look as nice as Knysna but I remember it being pretty nice back in the day (70s lol). Different ocean too.

Now I have the SA itch.. Must go soon.

Sorry to hijack photo thread, keep em coming y'all. Jeen were your last pics from Venice?

No longer a challenge, it's just fun now.

Ooh nice It's a cool place, little quiet for me though if I was to live there but I do enjoy visiting once a year. Shame the roads around there (like the road to Plet/George) are so dangerous. Ugh now I want to go there right now! My parents are considering a move to East London (SA) where the rest of my family is so might be last Knysna trip next time.

Thanks Jeen!

I can't believe someone knew where those pics were from, Thesen Isle just next to Knysna Marina indeed, well spotted.. Have you been to Knysna?

Oh BellaDonna it was so tranquil. All I could hear when taking those photos was the occasional surfacing of a fish. Not a care in the world when I am down there. I should have doctored the photos somewhat but they are ok like this I feel. I do plan on joining you in being a boater in the future, pretty envious of you, it's a nice pastime.

I took these with a Nikon D90 with the optional 18-200 lens, had just bought it before going down there, it's really an incredible camera. For the long exposures I had no tripod so had to use whatever there was in front of me - a little camera shake ensued but it came out ok.

Btw It's an incredible little spot - this island is on a lagoon.

Some great stuff there, I also liked the abstract pic3.

 

As soon as I realized it was the last thing I had that still kind of connected me to her, All the feelings came back. Could just be the trauma/shock, but man this is especially hard... I feel like I was just set back months...
