PhotoHunt - Ripples

While going through my photo archives, I stumbled upon some photos of water ripples and I think this seems like a good choice to share for this week's photohunt.

During our trip to Switzerland, we took a lake cruise towards the vast serene lakes of Lucerne. Everywhere I turned, I noticed majestic views of lush greenery and water ripples like these were very interesting to observe.

The crisp mountain air combined with the panoramic view was lovely and it was nice to sit on board and feel the breeze and watched the ripples moving across the water.

The last two shots were taken during a canal tour in Amsterdam on autumn days. Amsterdam's maze of waterways has certainly become a symbol of the city.

As can be seen in the picture, that's a glass covered touring boat with autumn trees reflected in ripples of water in the canals .

The canals seemed like busy streets and most of the time, we noticed numerous tour boats, rowing boats, peddle boats, sailing boats, and barges passed by. Seriously, it's quite the norm for some locals to live on the water where a number of houseboats lined the canals. The shot above shows gentle ripples and reflections on the water's surface caused by the motion of the boat we were in.
