Solitude
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau, 1854

I love Thoreau, and this shot is perfect for such words! Love that blue sky and the deeper blue of the moving water. Beautiful!
Blue on blue – I love it! Great skywatch.
Thanks everyone! I now think I want to move onto that island in the background!
