Swan lake
Sometimes the silence and the grey
Descend so softly
That you can almost hear the peace of the cloudy reflections.
Later on, the moody skies
Turn purple
And the old jetty seems to stretch out
Towards the swans
Dancing on the edge of infinity.
For more moody skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Those swans are almost other-worldly.Beautiful images

Great photos

Beautiful! Is your home on the edge of this lake?
November 29, 2012 at 13:28
Yes, well a few metres away. There are lakeside houses but ours are on the cheaper side of the street.

Oh Lady Fi!
Swans are beautiful. Your photos perfectly.
Regards
November 29, 2012 at 14:43
Such striking images, I am completely sold out on the second one!
November 29, 2012 at 15:17
It looks as though the lake is a bit higher than usual? It’s a pretty threatening sky, too, I agree.
November 29, 2012 at 15:44
How observant. Yes, we’ve had lots of rain this year.

Wow, I came across your website completely by accident, but I’m so happy I did! How wonderful photos and funny posts you’ve got! I’m Swedish but have moved to Cornwall (my boyfriend’s from Nottingham but moved to Newquay at 15) and lived here for a couple of years. We’ve been talking about moving to Sweden to start a family there, but we’re not sure. I just don’t know how my boyfriend will adapt in a country with a language he doesn’t speak a word of. With jobs and friends and such. How long did it take you to settle in and get used to Sweden and Swedish people? Do you find it hard to make friends in Sweden being British? Also, did you find the Swedish language difficult to learn?
And just out of curiosity, where in Sweden do you live? Looks like the Northern part, and good lord how beautiful it is!
Lots and lots of questions, hope you’ll have time to answer a few of them
November 29, 2012 at 16:11
Thanks for these peaceful splendor… I quite admire the photos and tranquility!
November 29, 2012 at 16:12
Lovely words and images.

Such a gift to look at your photos Fi. I can sometimes conjure them in my memory when I’m reaching for calm and silence.
November 29, 2012 at 17:49
Beautiful skies, all purple.

The skies and the reflections on the water are so amazing. I love the ripples in the water that go so beautifully with the slats of wood. What a gorgeous pair of photos!

November 30, 2012 at 01:24
You drew my eyes to the end of the jetty…and then beyond…perfection

How simply idyllic – even if the swans are the wrong colour. As usual, I loved the images you have chosen. Thank you.
November 30, 2012 at 07:31
Nice water-view photos Fi. Where are they taken? Is the water a sea inlet or a river or lake? It looks so calm – Dave
November 30, 2012 at 08:29
It’s the lake about 30 seconds away from my front door. An inland lake.

A beautiful post – the music echoes throughout!
November 30, 2012 at 15:06
Hi Fiona. Have just spent a most enjoyable time catching up on your fabulous images. You really are surrounded by beauty in your part of the world. If you don’t mind can I ask what make of camera you use? Things get so hectic don’t they, its Late Friday evening here in Perth, a quiet night for a change and so nice to catch up. Hope you have a super weekend.
November 30, 2012 at 15:45
Hi and thank for your kind comment. I’m using a Canon 500D with zoom lens.
November 30, 2012 at 15:58
moody yet beautiful.
November 30, 2012 at 15:47
I am rarely at a loss for words, but there are no words that can adequately express how exceptionally beautiful these photos are. Your pictures and your words are such poetry, and the post conveys such an exquisite sense of peace.
I just love that bench sitting on its own little “island” and want to be there with a good book and a camera as great as yours!
(If I had a camera like yours, the book would have to be about how to use it! LOL)
November 30, 2012 at 16:38
I have heard so many good thing about the Canon 500D it’s almost tempting, but I have a perfectly good Pentax and Lumix so couldn’t really justify it…but maybe……!!
November 30, 2012 at 17:48
Oh, I luv em.
November 30, 2012 at 18:45
Beautiful shots of place.
November 30, 2012 at 19:18
Breathtaking sights. Amazing!
Have a nice week end LadyFi and thanks for visiting:)
November 30, 2012 at 19:19

Thanks for stopping by my Skywatch, today. Your photos are dreamy. See you soon, Irene
November 30, 2012 at 20:25
You have the most stunning sunsets out your way. I’m glad that you share their peace.
November 30, 2012 at 21:17
It all looks so peaceful and beautiful. Many thanks. Give those swans a tutu and a stage and let us see them dance!
November 30, 2012 at 22:22
I think the second photo may be my favorite moment you’ve shared since I’ve been following your blog….The Holy One Creates, but you are there at just the right time to see it and offer the beauty you’ve witnessed to us. How deeply blessed we are Fi. Thank you.
November 30, 2012 at 23:15
