Walking around Balboa Island is one of my favorite things to do in the late afternoon and early evening.
This photo was taken last week at the height of our "June Gloom," which lasted well into July.
The sun came out about 5:15 p.m. just for me to catch this picture.

You are so good, Carolyn! This looks more like a painting than a photo and it's gorgeous! Lovely skies, beautiful reflections! Have a delightful weekend! Enjoy!

Very gorgeous shot!
the subject/composition is already special, but your HDR made it more special.
A great subject for your HDR, it looks like a painting.
Beautiful! Great perspective and reflection.
Postcard perfect!
Have a great weekend Carolyn.
Just lovely and very "painterly." Happy Skywatching!
What a beautiful sly and picture carolyn. hve a great weekend
This looks like a modern version of Venice!
Your June Gloom still looks pretty inviting, especially with those boats to go play in.
Wow! Now I can see how HDR works. This looks like a painting rather than a photo. Very interesting!
Beautiful sky and reflection! It is a lovely scene. Happy skywatching!
Very cool tweaking!
This is the third reference to 'June Gloom' I've seen.
Nice painting effect.
The houses, the docks and boats are wonderful. I like the nautical sky that wafts over this picturesque island. I can almost feel the warm air and ocean breezes...
That is a very beautiful scene.
What a picturesque scene. I've heard about this place, but always miss out on it when I'm down south. Could be a painting!
Beautiful scenery like a water-color painting ♪
Like a painting. Clicking to enlarge the pic revealed lots of colors and complex patterns.
What a lovely place to walk! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you have a grand weekend. Happy SWF.
I thought for sure this was a painting when I first glanced. What a totally idyllic scene. Beautiful!
Lovely shot. You were in the right place when the sun came out!
Love the picture, almost like a painting! Have a nice weekend.
Great composition with the perfect light, it seems like a HDR image, is it? Greetings from MC.
Great light.

Fabulous shot. Looks like a picture postcard.
Enlarged it becomes a really amazing shot. Like a painting of a couple of centuries ago. Wonderful soft light and feeling.
Gorgeous.
awesome shot!
What a wonderful view! You captured it very nicely.
Lovely, Carolyn. Makes me want to come and have an extended visit just so I could walk your walk and maybe even take a boat ride down the canal. Has a little bit of a French Impressionist feeling to it.
Wow! What a great photo! I first thought that it was a painting, because the colours are so vibrant and clear. It's also a perfect reflection.
Sure looks like a nice walk and I agree...it does have the effect of a painting.
It sure does have the effect of a painting. I love it. Gorgeous :)
The HDR makes it look like a painting.
wow, what a great picture, the light is just perfect! Thanks for your comments. It did not occur to me that you lived in that area. I should have contacted you ahead of time to ask what to do. No wonder your pictures are always so amazing, you have such a beautiful canvas!!
Lovely setting, great light and lens...very cool...Peace and blessings
That's beautiful -- I wish I had the blue boat! You live in such a lovely spot.
Awesome, very well captured!! I love the treatment you've given to the photo!!

Wow, that's really a pretty scene! It looks like a painting.
Looks like a painting!
And I thought it was a water color. Silly me.
This looks so perfect - like out of a movie set!!! Wow, I want to go there! Great shot.
It looks like a watercolour painting. Nice!
This picture looks like a painting ! what nice reflections of the boats
I don't know how you did this but I love it! I use a Diana lens on my DSLR sometimes but the effect is never as gorgeous as this.
Lovely Reflections!
This looks like a painting - it is so lovely!
You're using the HDR technique beautifully.
The blue kayak is waiting for you.
Lovely composition Carolyn and the light is pure magic!
Very nice lighting and the soft focus gives it that 'painted' look. Great shot!
When I enlarged the photo I really thought it was a painting. It is amazing how soft lighting can create such effects. Great shot.
Looks like a clip from a movie. Great picture and reflection.
