Many a time have I walked past this site and not bothered to take a photo, but I did this time.
With the tree trunk in the foreground and the canoe club in the distance, I thought it did, indeed, have potential.
My concept was to use my wide angle lens to get more of the old tree in the frame and to take the photo in the early light when the lights in the canoe club might still be on.
They were, and, even better, unlike the above photo, the river was dead calm.

The photo came out close to what I had envisioned, which certainly does not always happen. To some extent it is unfortunate that the wide angle lens also renders the building small, but I knew that would happen, and that is just the way that it goes. I do like how the building is well centered and well framed by trees and branches.
I may return with other lenses to get closer photos, but I am pleased to have pulled this one off to the extent that I did. It is certainly not always what happens.

That is a gorgeous photo! Frame worthy!
What a great shot! I took 939 pictures recently, with the goal of getting a couple good ones. LOL.
Beautifully done!
I like the daylight view suggesting a good time to return for a successful image.
The mirror image in the water makes the last photo fascinating. well done.
That last photo, WOW! I love it in every way!!
It is a fine shot, all right. Well done!
Very well conceived and executed.
Winner. You have a couple of different crops there too.
I do like it as well.

Nicely done!
Beautiful!
That second shot is a winner!
I agree. Excellent photo.
Your timing had to be close on this one too. If the sun was up higher the shadow would have been much different. Nicely done.
The river looks calm.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Always such pretty shots. :)
Very nice!
That second one, in the evening, is so moody and really lovely. I'd enjoy looking at that view from inside or out!
I really like that night-time effect.
