A cruise around WindemeresteemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

It's the dream of many people to sail off into the blue like these people in the sailboat below. It does look idylic and now that we are all multi billionaires; what is stopping you doing just that?

I tend to suffer from seasickness and a cruise around the lake at Windemere is about as much as I can take.

Cruising around the lake is a great way to see a lot of the landscape in a very short period of time and this rainbow hung in the air for ages.

I kept seeing this other little Lake steamer in the far distance and tried to capture it a few times.

We didn't get any closer to the steamer so had to make do with cropping the image to give you a view of it.

The Lake district is a fabulous place to visit. The scenery is stunning and we had a great time. The weather played nicely too. Cloudy skies and rays of sunlight. Rain and rainbows. All in all a great day for any aspiring photographer.

Amazing scenery and photography @molometer. You caught a rainbow! I have not managed that and it is on my bucket list. I wonder how long we will all be multi-billionaires? LOL!

I've been pretty lucky with rainbows. One advantage of living in England :-)

Not long it seems lol...it's gone already.

It's good luck to get a double rainbow like that! What a wonderful sail! To be honest with you, I think people get more seasick on the small little boats like that than the big ships.

You don't even know you are sailing on a big one. It is just a floating hotel. ;)

Upped and Steemed

You may be right. I got seasick for 8 hours on a tiny fishing boat in the north sea but never had a problem on the big ferries. I was green literally.
Thanks for the !tip Denise back at ya! :-)

Truth!!!! Does that mean I may see you on a cruise ship sometime? ;)

Who knows? Anything is possible ;)

I'll be the one in the red hat and two diamond earrings in one ear. ;)

I'll be carrying a yellow rose and a copy of the London Times :-)

Thank you!

Beautiful photos! Sea sickness! I suffer sometimes but not always. It must depend on the kind of boat I'm on or the kind of conditions on the lake.

The lake steamer was fine and not a problem at all. I had a terrible case of seasickness once...for eight hours and swore never to get on a boat again. :-)

Thanks so much for the tip! With the price of steem this low it is going to be hard to get ahead, so this is especially appreciated! ❤️

My pleasure Melinda, this would be the perfect time to buy up some cheap steem.
On the other hand it could go to zero. ;-)

I will invest $50 in Steem next week. I bought some Bircoin on Coinbase and have to wait 16 days to trade it for Steem. That is the only way I know how to buy Steem. Is there a better way? And Steem Monster cards. I have invested in a bunch of them hoping to sell when the price goes up. As popular as the game is I think they will be a good investment.
