This week's Sepia Saturday post of a person alone in a boat had me rummaging through my vintage postcards to find something on a similar theme. I ended up being surprised that I actually had a few which fitted the bill.

All three very atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcards. I love the shading of the colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful postcards. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA kind of universal image. It overlooks the rain, the mosquitos, and the wind.
ReplyDeleteThat first card is a real treat. I was going to say the colours of the heather in the water but, after a bit of googling, I realise it is now Ireland rather than Scotland.
ReplyDeleteGreat postcards, and they all are so in tune with the original post! I'm drawn to that Japanese one, but I can't tell you why...
ReplyDeleteBeing out in a boat on the water is a good way to view the spectacular scenery on the first card.
ReplyDeleteThe Coosmasharen postcard is a gem, spectacular.
ReplyDeleteMoonlight, mists and lakes definitely belong together don't they..
ReplyDeleteThree very different lakes and feeling emanating from them. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that you have such a postcard collection that you can find not one but three to fit the theme - wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. You have such a lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteThe atmosphere represents exactly right with the prompt. Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIdyllic boating scenes, although the reality is often rather less than idyllic, as Mike suggests :-)
