look across the border to learn the ways of love
The boys from North Dakota / They drink whiskey for their fun / And the cowboys down in Texas / They polish up their guns / And they look across the border / To learn the ways of love (Lyle Lovett)

you have really created a cool mood in this shot, the strong contrasts gives this image a very creepy look, and leads my thoughts to some great old horror movie :-)
excellent feel to this, I really like the light here.
I like here the atmosphere of abandonment and loneliness. Sad and beautiful.
impressive mood… creepy background silence and lonely atmosphere there…. very beautiful
I like the mood of this photograph. The light playing over the wood, the reflection of the water inside the boat and the strong contrast is very nice.
The strong contrasts I LIKE!
NIcely done again. The BW offers a dramatic reading of this picture. Great eye!
Have a nice day.
I hope they’re not heading for the border in that boat!
Great tones and contrast. This is one fine image!
sehr gut
Mis respetos –as folks say here in Mexico. This is truly eye-catching and much, much more. Not an image to talk about as to contemplate and enjoy.
Terrific! I love this photo! it’s so great my friend!
i just got up to your wonderful comments and this acheingly beautiful b&w…. i do wish you would tell me how you process these.. i don’t do b&w often, but maybe i would if i had a way to process it to ake it look beautiful any time…. teach me sensei lol… i love this picture, how it fades to black at the bottom, gorgeous!!!
A mood-inducing photo, for sure. It is a statement unto itself. There are some things that we would pursue even in a leaky boat, but getting „back home“ would never look so good–if it’s even possible. Your photo and the lyrics are a perfect match!
Erkenntnisse und Gedanken von der anderen Seite … schau über die Grenzen und lerne neue Wege des Sehens … kneife sanft die Augen zu und du erblickst einen kubistischen Kopf umringt von wunderbar leuchtendem, wallendem Haar.
Fritsch, grossARTig!
A perfect shot, shot in perfect black and wbhite
i like that bit of water in the boat.
lovely low key shot.. I really dig the mood here..
sehr stimmungsvoll!
Ein Bild zum Träumen. Voller Geschichten. Einsteigen und lospaddeln. Oder irgendwo danaben im Schilf liegen. Ein Hauch von Büllerbü. Oder doch eher nouvelle vague?
@ Walter: Stimmt, da ist etwas, am Bug des Schiffes. Ein Kopf. Und wenn du die Augen noch ein wenig weiter zukneifst, verwandelt sich der Kopf in eine Madonnengestalt mit verwehtem Haar. Die Welt ist das, was wir in ihr sehen. Manchmal zumindest.
Danke fürs Einfangen dieser wunderschönen Phantasmagorie.
One more great composition, Florian! And one more work about dark and light, an inspired contrast…
How not to think of the boat that carried the dead to the Hell? Or is it that I’m in a sad mood these times? A boat entering a hell of a sky (thanks to the reflection) at least.
Again, a wonderful serie of deep black, love this, especially the last with light in the background.
Une très très belle composition. Les détails de ce monochrome sont vraiment superbes…
Again, your eye is wonderful. To have spotted this little ecosystem and photographed it so carefully and lovingly – just amazing.
bravo – great shot!
das boot kann geschichten erzählen von all denen die darauf unterwegs gewesen sind. von alten tagen und besseren zeiten, als wir jung waren und dachten die erde sei rund.
viele grüße
