The world turns softly not to spill its lakes and rivers. The water is held in its arms and the sky is held in the water. What is water, that pours silver, and can hold the sky?

Superb atmosphere under these lights of the night and beautiful texts to accompany.
Magnifique atmosphère, chez nous nous avons besoin de pluie pour remplir lacs et rivières. La sécheresse fait des dégâts.
A lovely evening view.

Such a lovely, soft image- and the perfect quotation for it!

A wonderful image and the words are really what I feel .
This is a delight Sherri. Love the soft light
Beautiful light/colour/mood
The words are so poetic! I live on a river and I know the words to be true. I like the B&. It captures a moody feeling.
A fine atmosphere and i like also the colors.
A beautiful and very peaceful view. I love the use of monochrome.
what exquisite words indeed! exquisite.
Your photo is so wonderfully calming, yet there is interest to draw the viewer’s eye as well.
The light is so subtle and beautiful! Wonderful photo!
Splendid composition with an ominous sky!
Between light and shadow, this composition is superb
Beautiful composition and an important subject …water and environment …!
oh! this is spectacular Sherri… love it….peter:)
beautiful sentiments, but those in southeast NC and eastern SC might disagree with the idea of not spilling. Your image shows the capture of the sea in a small bay in a really pretty and peaceful peaceful composition.
doesn’t it say somewhere in the Bible that there is waters in the heavens?
the flat earthers say that water never lies 🙂
lovely picture, lovely quote
A beautiful image of the calm waters. Sometimes the waters aren’t so calm and spill out onto the land rather dramatically. I prefer the smooth waters full of reflections.
