Rows of River Tubes, Whitewater River, near Harrison, Ohio © Doug Hickok (Click on image for larger view.) Have you ever been tubing? When it is summer time, and the living is easy, and the fish are jumping, and the cotton is high, somewhere there is a quiet river for your tubing pleasure. Jump in a tube, guide it carefully into the river, and float on the cool, soothing waters, move lazily with the calming currents, as though you had not a worry in the world. It is the perfect way to cool off on a sunny summer day. If you don't have a lazy river near you (or if it's still too darn cold) here are a few photography links to explore indoors. Odd and quirky sums up these images from Poland. See the amazing undersea work of Wayne Levin, especially his fish schools series. Finally, we present the incredible minimalist images of Matthias Heiderich. |
It seems so fun!

ReplyDeleteMy tubing memories are from the original inner-tube days when we were kids, Doug...and we had none of these hi-falutin' fancy jobs. HA! Nothing like the lazy good ol' days. :)
