Lone Butte Yacht Club
While driving through a town called Lone Butte (a butte is small isolated hill, it is not the large piece of flesh on your posterior; you're so immature) when I noticed about five of old crappy boats lying around in a dried up marsh. It looked pretty strange, but it became downright comical when we noticed the sign.I have several compositions of this scene. I found it really difficult to create a composition that would present the scene in an interesting way. Why is it that I can see something that I find intensely interesting and yet fail to capture it in a way that will convey the emotions I am feeling?
My difficulty with this scene was communicating the information to the viewer. I think a broader view of the scene would make it more clear that their was no water anywhere near the group of boats. However, when I used a wider angle, the frame was too cluttered with unnecessary items and lacked a sense of balance and order. In the end I decided that it was best to decide on one point of interest, rather than encompassing the entire scene. This photo doesn't make me feel the same way I did when we drove past the boats, but I believe it adequately conveys some of the humour of the scene.

That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
My husband has wanted a boat now for quite some time. I keep telling him that we have to wait until the kids are done with school then maybe, just maybe we can afford one again.
I sent him the link to this shot with the subject line: "Oooh...I think I just found a boat and a Yacht club we can afford!"
Actually, I think you captured this scene quite well. I like the little tree growing right up next to the boat. It is very clear in this image that there is no water to be found. Nice work, Tim!
Tena koe ehoa
You done exactly what you wanted to Timmy, The isolation of the boat from water is very apparent in your image.
This had me rolling around in laughter (at work that is a very funny sight).
Wonder why they choose that name.

heheh nice one!
I see what you are saying, it's like my mind wants to tell me that there is water just in front of that boat. But maybe I am to grumpy for the joke. I can't imagine that there is anything to do to help that, my only thought was taking the photo from a view point where you could see in front of the boat, perhaps lower, but you probably tried that. anyways it's good, but I get what you are saying
