Rowing Practice
























A  shell passes under the Founders Bridge across the Connecticut River,
with the coach exhorting the crew to pull harder.

  13. What a strange, unusual, but soo interesting picture!I like the movement in it, and at the same time the heavy arches make it special, giving a strange mood to the scene....

    To answer to your yesterday's question: I keep being surprised and marveled every day by the landscapes among which I'm living. And I feel lucky and blessed.
