Winter Reflections

Winter at Bridgehouse Marina, originally uploaded by Bay Photographic.

Took this today at the marina, while checking on Henry. Quite against the odds, given the way it has thrown it down with rain for a week, the sun came out so, after I had washed a leaf off the deck, emptied the dehumidifier, paid my account at the marina shop and sulked a bit after listening on the radio to Arsenal being turned over by Middlesborough, I took some photographs of the boats on the North side of the moorings as the sun set to the South West.
It is generally theorized that the best time of day to take photographs is the 'Golden Hour' as the sun rises and as it sets. In winter, this becomes the 'Occasional Golden Ten Minutes' as the transition from light to dark becomes quicker, and is more often than not accompanied by cloud.
Today, however, the sky was clear, the light was glowing and the reflections in the millpond still water were spectacular.
So, unsurprisingly, the batteries on my camera packed up after four shots.
I have always known that everyone gets what is coming to them.
And, clearly, I am no exception to my own theory.
