Swimming in secluded ponds

Suffolk UK

There are more ponds in the countryside in suffolk than anywhere else in the UK
Blue and I love swimming in them - unfortunately you get home smelling of pond!
This one is a particular favorite - trees all around, and a muddy bank which is only accessible from one place.
This shot was taken up to my waist in water - with the mud and sticks oozing around my toes!

Nikon D2x ,nikkor 17-55 AFS f2.8
1/15s f/5.0 at 24.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice, but it would be better with Blue making a great big splash. - Warren :-)

I love this, it gets across a sense of the magic and mystery of your environment. In fact it reminds me of that Edward Curtis shot with the man standing by a hidden pool. Like his picture, one can almost see faces and creatures hidden in the foliage - way too fanciful for you, i know, but it's amazing what the lens can "see" sometimes...
Flick.
