Ripples in the river. I took this on a late December evening. I was fascinated by the change from the almost ripple-free river, smooth ripples over the weir, followed by turbulent ripples as the water fell to the lower level.

Ripples in the sea and the sky. In spite of what this looks like, it was taken mid morning in March of last year.

Ooooooooooooo, how pretty. Not only the ripples but the bridge in the background!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to think of something that was 'different' other than water...
So, HERE is mine The Ripple Effect.
Hi A. --

I think your photos are viciously intense.
ReplyDeleteImpressive ripples!
ReplyDelete@utpo6only, thank you. I'm glad you liked them.
ReplyDelete@Anni, yes I'm fond of that bridge too. :)
@YTSL, I was surprised at that second one myself. More to it than I thought.
@bing, fierce? The first one was taken at sunset and the light was unusual. I suppose that's why.
@rdl, indeed you can't.
@Mrs. Mecomber, thanks, I'll be across to visit you.
@Max, what a colourful turn of phrase. Et tu, Brute. :)
lovely ripples. my photo hunt is here Thanks
ReplyDeleteDear A.
ReplyDeleteyou here present some high class photos and excellent solution to this weeks PH challenge
Wonderful contribution to the theme - proves the beauty of nature!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend :-)
Striking photos. I love the deep blue vivid colors in the first one.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these shots are wonderful, but I have to say the first one is my favorite. The reflection of the bridge in the background really makes this balanced.
ReplyDeleteBoth are very special with great texture and perspective! I sure am loving this week's theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine and have a nice weekend.

fascinating shots of ripples. have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, A. Nice pics of the ripples. Thanks for visiting my site too and hope to see more great pics from you. Have a nice weekend. CY.
ReplyDeletelove the 1st photo so much.. that brown meeting the blue is amazingly cool :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - the contrast in the first one between the mirror-like river and downstream of the weir is beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteVery nice ripples.
ReplyDeleteWater is such a fascinating subject to photograph, isn't it? It can be at one moment calm, then suddenly crash over some rocks and tumble...or a bit of wind can rough its surface. Very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful ripples!! love the b/w effect.
ReplyDeleteI would have explained my photo if I only knew how! it is an overflow channel, it was sort of a bathtub full of mountain water...
Very interesting images and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of 'sea' and 'sky' is always fascinating, A.! I enjoyed this post + those photos as usual :)
