17. EXTRAORDINARY- Narrowboat Reflecting on the canal (OUR WORLD UPSIDE DOWN)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- We've been 'reflecting' on the canal during Lockdown. Slowing right down has let us observe so many new things. Our world has turned upside down and Annamarie made this stunning piece of video art to reflect that. So, please note, this is not a cruising video or a vlog, this is an artistic response- an artwork.

I was so nervous putting this lovely little artwork on our channel and thought for a moment that it should go on my art by Annamarie channel. In the end I wanted to share it with you all because I think it is beautiful and so many of you have commented about loving our vlogs because they help you take a step away from your current situation. So, while this is not an actual vlog, or a cruising video, I hope you enjoy it as an artwork.
Having moved from Hampshire to The USA I miss that bird song and the country walks in the evenings. Lovely video. Thanks!
Takes us out of our world while making us look at the world differently and shows us a beautiful side to the world. That’s the true definition of art!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you. Deb from Oz
Hi girls what is the difference of a long boat a narrow boat and barge to me they are all canal ( cut ) vessels sorry I’m ignorant
Very lovely❤❤
It is an amazing leap when an artist can get us to open our eyes and look at ordinary things in an extraordinary different way. Quite sublime.
What a lovely thing to say. thanks
@@TheNarrowboatExperience Martin is so, so right. In our "Blinkered world" we often miss amazing things like this. Thanks for your time and effort to put this one together, and in Welsh, one word sums it up.. Bendigedig!!
This has to be one of your best ever, truly a pleasure to watch, absolutely mesmerising.
So glad you liked it, and what a compliment to say it was mesmerising. Thanks that means a lot to me.
I’m sure I’m not the first to say how Australian of you... I did enjoy this video a lot. Thank you for sharing you down under.
Wow! Tricking the brain in almost every shot. Sometimes it’s only the fluff on the water, the water movement, or the bugs finally showing what’s up and what’s down. Must have been such fun to create! Gold star for you🌟
It's like a piece in a museum of modern art, but about something nice. Great job.
Annamarie, I think this was more than artwork. It was therapy.
And it was beautiful.
Annamarie has the best eye for these sorts of things. There's amazing things all around us when we can make the space in our minds to see them. Fab.
Breathtaking! You have taken on the task of teaching us to "see" instead of just looking. Those of us lucky enough to go through life 'seeing" have a richer life. This dreadful pandemic has made many of us aware there is something else beyond simply consuming "things". Perhaps our lives will change for the better? Do we really want to go back to what was "normal"? Whatever we do, Mother Nature will decide and we will go along for the ride. It's going to be a bumpy ride and longer than we imagine, but a little narrowboat philosophy would help things along.

That was a nice way to reflect on my day. I sat on my porch swing and watched it outdoors.
I love how this time of confinement has brought out people’s creativity. This video is a stunning example! Just lovely!
After 5 weeks of solitary self-isolation, my head was not in a good place today. Just want to say 'thank you!'; feel much better after this.
Thank you for your very clever and beautiful photography, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The eye of an artist is a wondrous thing.
This vlog deserves an award of some kind. Enchanting!
Simply stunning, this is true art. The upside down ducks were a bit mind bending. It was nice to be shocked out of the complacent way we view the world.
I agree with an earlier poster that this deserves an award.
Love it. As a photographer, I think the canals offer something special. If we change the way we look at things, then the things we look at change.
Absolutely beautiful. Those times when you can hear nature relax and sigh contentedly. Thank you.
I really liked this. I particularly enjoyed watching all the little water bugs skittering over the surface of the water. Thanks for the nature break!
So nice when one can see the best part of life in the worst of circumtances
It’s times like this that make you search harder for ways to engage and delight your audience. You are truly amazing,loved it, thank you 😊
Up side down vid in a up side down world, stay safe
Know Marc chagals " Le bateau"? It was hung upside down for a month, before someone discovered that the signature was in the upper left corner instead of the lower right. Chagal wasn't pleased!
What a unique way to look at everyday things. Perhaps an invitation to reflect on ourselves and imagine what can be.
This is by far my favorite narrow boat video bar none! Well done 👍🏻 WOW!
Just beautiful. I love all of the canal's vivid life portrayed through sight and sound.
This was in one word b-r-I-l-l-I-a-n-t. Pure art. Concept, execution, filming, birdsong, just perfect. Balsam for the soul and the senses. Congratulations!
Just lovely.... I'm sure t this is why boaters boat! Really enjoyed the angles and the birdsong. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Wow, Annamarie! That was beautiful. I loved the colours - especially the pink sky. I think one of the memories of this strange time will be bird song.
the images are so clear, almost like a camera obscura...thank you Annamarie. Excellent videography.
Returned, to wonder, to see the sky as if though a child's kaleidoscopic eye-still magical.
Disconcerting for just a moment, then difficult to imagine the reality of up-side-down for another moment, but totally enjoyable, unique and quite boldly creative to share. Thank you Annamarie.
Loved it... Especially the ducks.... Thanks for taking the risk and helping us see things from a new perspective!
Watching this, I ended up being completely lost, head upside down. One of your finest, 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Even my cat liked it she was watching the birds loved it
Beautiful. Like watercolors..of course they are....
Your best vlog yet. Original content for narrowboat channels. Well done
This was so serene! Thank you Annamarie!
Lots of love and big gentle hugs to you, Kath, Alice, and Munchy! :-)
Two words . Wonderful -- Magical . 👍🚐
Brilliant in so many ways! Only an artist could have seen this world as worthy of sharing; we are better for it. The bird song was so prominent. Shows me what sounds we miss bc of "civilization". Kind of like how many billions of stars there are when away from light pollution. Thanks for adding so profoundly to my day. 💕
I JUST LOVED THAT. Thanks girls.
Absolutely brilliant! I love using reflections. Thanks Alan xxx
BEAUTIFUL! Well done, great POV for all scenes, extraordinary artwork in editing. Thank you.
I rarely watch things twice, but I did in this case. Is it art? Is it physics? Is it phenomenology? It seems to be all three. Quite captivating...very well done.
Also you should paint the birds with their reflections. Beautiful
How beautiful was that! And so imaginative. Thank you :)
What an ingenious idea. I always like that fact that artists see our world differently, and I like that we're here and able to share it. Thank You !
Well our cat Boots absolutely loved that. xx
Quite amazing. Love the birdsong in the background. Thank you
Reminds me of our daughter's main A level piece of art "A Journey of Reflections".. Stay safe and post what you can.
Reflections. This just confirms your amazing artistic talent. Please don't hold back and post more as and when the moments arise. Regards to all four of you and stay safe. XXXX
Very innovative, take time to reflect on what is really important & what is fleeting.
Thank you for posting.
You two lovely ladies bring a smile every time and I thank you for it. Rob xx
Now that was very enjoyable. Beautifully done!
Another amazing piece of artwork by Anna, specially like the bridge, that would make an amazing oil painting
Thank you for this visual and auditory feast.
Well this was just lovely! Absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing. The birdsongs were amazing. Big hugs 🇨🇦❤️
This was absolutely lovely, a nice break from the hustle bustle of daily life. There's a Canadian guy that does this type of art and we really enjoy his work, he's on UA-cam and calls himself Slim Potato Head. He's done a few natural videos without narration or music. This channel is whatever you want it to be, always. Wouldn't it be nice if this "time off" caused us to wake up to taking care of the earth and each other?
If only! The world is indeed a better place, having seen your video/work of art!
Amazing! This made me remember visiting a camera obscura.
Absolutely what I needed in the middle of a hectic day working full time from home and educating two children during the lockdown. I can't say thank you enough for continuing to vlog during these unprecedented times.
Glad it was helpful!
Hiya. No need for nerves, this is what canal living is all about. And, for me, lol, that upside-down duck was a true 'Gotcha' moment! Like, whaaaat???, when it stuck its beak in and the 'sky' rippled. Loved it! So, yes, more please. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Loved that duck moment too
Beautiful...by the end the reflections became my new normal!! Gives me hope that as humans we can adapt as long as we find wonder and love xx
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. 💕
Brilliant piece of work, taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a thoroughly absorbing way to see the world around us, if I may make so bold; a stroke of genius. Thanks for showing us this, and definitely a work of art. Applause.
Nicely done! A world artistically turned topsy-turvy.
WOW, very creative! Love the incredible reflections 👍✌️😊🙏🏼
Total Bliss
Beautiful artistic and creative images.
Thank You
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a lovely video. So peaceful. The scenes with the ducks and heron were captivating. The mirror images really stood out in those especially. The birds reflected head and necks, coming together, looked like a sideways ❤️.
Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.
Very nice indeed - Impressed how you kept up with the flying birds!
A beautiful vlog and so relaxing and refreshing. Thanks.
My mindset was in a bad place today; depressed by the monotony of upsetting news items, by lock down, by how life has changed and will need to change more. But if we take a different view and look at the world from a different angle, there are some positives out there and reasons to feel a little better. Those good things are hidden behind dark clouds that have filled our minds. To clear those clouds away, we need some restful images, the sights/sounds of nature and... a little time to reflect. Your video was just the ticket. Love u guys, stay safe.
Very nice. You can see the eye of an artist here.
Stunning very soothing to watch.Thank you
Just beautiful to watch, an art work of the highest order! Loved it
Well Well done! This should be in the great exhibitions of art things that happen and stuff for even!
Most enjoyable to watch, relaxed me no end.
Some of the shots would make lovely oil or watercolour paintings
Just beautiful ,you're so imaginative Anne Marie
Stellar ... "Stay Safe Shelter On"
Thanks so much for your reflections. So peaceful and calming. Very cool. I have a soft spot for ducks :)
Lovely relaxing video. Thanks for putting it up. 👍👍😎
Great concept, fabulous imagery. Well done indeed.
Beautiful visually, accompanied by the most outstanding sound track. Thank You for sharing ❤️
Gorgeous, inspirational video. Thanks dearly for sharing it. :)
So glad you liked it I was a little nervous about it being quite different from the 'usual'. I guess a bit of 'different' is a nice thing at the moment.
This was a great idea, thoroughly enjoyed all of the reflections.
Thank you. Something about an alternative view gives us new perspective and appreciation of our usual views.
I appreciate that!
That was so tranquil.....stay safe.....thanks for sharing
Great photography! Love the mirrored scenes!
Watched this a second time, very nice.
You win the Internet today!
This made my day. thanks. x
I realised I was holding my breath through the whole of that video, in sheer wonderment! Annamarie is so artistic in all her photography and videos! Wild live at its very best! Well done, Ladies! Keep it up, for us!
Fabulous video ladies, you've shown in beautiful detail what wonders you can see when you take the time to look at the world from a different perspective. Something I've done ever since I was a small boy dangling upside down from the branches of trees or getting right down to ground level for a Bugs eye view. Too old now to be dangling from trees but I can still manage the lying down these days no problem. 🤣 Observation and appreciation are food for the soul, sad that people today just don't take the time to try. Keep safe, I'll be looking forward to the next water trip adventure. 👌
Ooooooh that was really lovely. Such an interesting way to view things and really calming. Thank you x
It's alway fun to mess around with reflections and our perceptions of the image. Amazing and beautiful footage. Its usually so rare for the waters to be this calm. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! Thank you!
Quite artsy ladies. Just add some Pink Floyd music. Big smile! Loved it for real.
Loved these reflections, thank you. 🐣
What an amazing video. So clever and well seen images.
An absolutely amazingly gorgeous and beautiful vlog!
I thought that the Moorhen would make a most incredible picture!
Thank you sooo much for sharing!
All love and best wishes to you 4, Claire and Sally the older Goldie, Berlin ✌👍👍❤❤❤❤
That is so cool. Just beautiful!!
