Especially as the water gets a bit blurry as the light fades, as in the last photo…

I think the last one really is the best of the lot :). And I suppose in a canoe, there aren’t many possible directions other than “forward”…

Actually, going forward is positively boring to some kayakers, and they resist it at all costs ;-)

The bow of a kayak will always express for me the notion of !Forward!

For me too! I just point the bow where I want to go, and we are there—admittedly sometimes many hours later ;-)

The last photo is just perfect…the prow of the kayak is perfectly centered, the buildings on both sides of the photo lead us forward to the horizon…

Yes, I picked that last photo especially for this challenge because, among the hundreds of photos that I have with my kayak’s bow leading into the frame, it’s one of the very few where the bow and Johna’s kayak in front are perfectly aligned…
