Resting by the Water’s Edge XXXIII

The fine art series Resting by the Water’s Edge draws viewers into a serene, contemplative world where nature’s stillness takes center stage. The rowing boats, resting softly on the lakeshore, seem caught in a moment of timeless quiet. The photos' faded colors and soft, dreamlike quality create a sense of peace where reality feels suspended, and the imagination can wander.

The distant island, framed by the gentle silhouettes of branches, adds a touch of mystery, while the moody tones and soft lighting create a calm, reflective atmosphere. In both color and black-and-white, these photos evoke a sense of serenity, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect. As poet William Butler Yeats once wrote, “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” Resting by the Water’s Edge invites us to sharpen our senses and find the magic in stillness.
