My Mom's folks used to own a resort on the Lake of the Ozarks when I was a kid. Had a heated fishing dock like this that I have fond memories of. Also saw similar places down in Louisiana. But, apparently they exist up north as well.
PS - I can't stand these Wordless Wednesday posts that don't care enough to publish early. Slacker ;)
Emy, I don't mind that the breeze ruffled the water a bit. As Mark mentioned, it sort of gives this one a brushed look. I like it!
Moksha, this one was taken a couple years ago when Amy and I toted Dex out to Ontario to tour him around our respective families. Amy's family is all in a place called Smiths Falls, "The Chocolate Capital of Ontario" since they have a monstrous Hershey factory there, which of course we toured.
Leaving the 1-year-old Dex with family for a couple hours, Amy showed me around the place on foot (it's not very big), and this was just a cute little water-way that we found. There is a small series of locks nearby that'll fit vessels no bigger than a good sized motor boat.
Just after this was taken we saw a garter snake in the grass that scared the bejeezuz out of Amy. Fun!
"Dude", I'm lovin' these artsy-fartsy photographs and the whole clever "wordless Wednesday" posts. Do you mind if I borrow the idea? I'll change the day of week to keep it legal and all that :>)
Don't worry about Declan - he'll come around and get all cozy with dad again, probably around the time he has to ask you for the keys to the car!
Wednesday is now a flood of beautiful shots. :D
This is very relaxing. You were wishing for just a trifle less breeze then, weren't you? ;)

I LOVE reflection shots, and yet I have only a few I like.
Good one, Simon. I like the slight breeze. Gives the reflection a brush stroked look.

Very cool picture. Where was it taken?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially as it relates to chocolate, but that Hershey factory is slated to close. My condolences.
