The quiet landscape

I half expect to see Sean Thornton (John Wayne) come walking down the road to commence his courtship of Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara) in the 1952 film The Quiet Man. Later in the film Sean drags his new wife back down the road to Innisfree to her brothers farm to collect her dowry and where the final confrontation unfolds. The story goes as expected, and in the end we see the 'Duke', duking it out with the brother of the bride.

It's a little bit funny this feeling that a Black and White image now reminds me of the technicolour film above. When recalling the film, which I have only seen once, it comes back as a lusty and rich Black and White, I guess that was the strength of John and Maureen under the guiding hand of Mr John Ford.

No blows were struck on this trip to the mighty Lake St Clair unless you count those that drove the pegs that in turn secured our tent. This is such a beautiful place to visit. The lake a perfect companion and photographic subject in any weather. It's difficult to take your eyes off the lake as the light changes throughout the day creating the effect at times, that time is standing still.
