These are beautiful and shiny. Looking at them I felt I needed to squint my eyes :)

Making you squint: that was pretty much the criterion by which I picked them… :-)

With your opening shot, the theme could also be ‘sliver.’ Either align well. :)

I keep thinking of using water photos for this theme. I can see I’m not the only one. :-)

No, there were quite a few. Everyone has seen it—although perhaps not kayaked on it… :-)

Beautiful! You have me reciting from John O’Gaunt’s ‘…….set in a silver sea’ back to my childhood’s Walter de la Mare’s ‘…walks the night in her silv’ry shoon’. Beautiful, beautiful!

The “Set in a silver sea” speech was in fact my first thought. But it’s so English, and I didn’t have really suitable photos to accompany it…
Thanks so much, Pamela! :-)
