Great photo NoBozo. It is often difficult to capture just how rough it can get on the Broads but you did it the best I've ever seen!

What a GREAT thread! This one's of my kids on our dock at Lockes Is. last summer after a loooooong travel day from Arizona. One of my favorite lake pics I've ever taken.

Ya know...some of these shots are absolutely timeless. Kids on a dock? That could have been me decades ago. That's what I love about this lake. So many great memories, so many generations. The feeling of returning home (even if you don't live here year-round)

You're kidding; right????? That looks like the North Atlantic.

One of the better threads on the forum in a while! Here are my slices of this heaven that I rotate on my desktop. All original shots, no post-processing involved.

First taken November 15th, 2012. We had a week or so where every sunset was like this.

Second and third, my favorite time of day, the early morning calm of a summer day.

Last, the mist as the heat leaves the water late in the summer.

YUP: Just kidding:

That was about 125 nautical miles North West of Bermuda..June 1979. I was Solo. Later on that day..I took a "Knockdown", (During Cocktails yet...OH the Humanities)

.... with the mast in the water.

The boat popped back up and continued sailing under Wind Vane self steering.... while I sat in the cockpit Looking. The boat was a C&C 27. Great fun.

Install Classic Shell or something similar (there are several). You can download it for free here. It adds back the Start button and normal menus to Windows 8 and lets you startup in your desktop, instead of Metro. I use Windows 8 with Classic Shell and it works like Windows 7.
