So every time I look out the window I keep seeing all of these boats "closed" up for the winter. Finally gave in and took a few pictures for this theme...... going with this one:  |

Jim, definitely closed. Nice shot -- colorful, with a diagonal angle. |

Taken from the window this morning..... Helen, the downwards viewpoint emphasizes the pool being closed. Great idea! |

I wish it would have been more difficult to find something for this theme ... hoping that by this time next year we can have the same level of ease finding things that are open again! Thanks for the theme Sepiana! Bill, this shot is definitely one for your portfolio. It elicits an emotional response from the viewers. Very sad! |

The Alberta BOP is just across the road from our house. They are normally open from early May until Labour Day. This year, they never opened until June or July and it was not "business as usual" like most years. Hopefully, by next May things will calm down. Shall see. Clive, very nice shot. Hopefully they will be back in "business as usual" next May. All one can do is hope! |

I'm always impressed by the buds on our magnolia that stay closed all winter but keep themselves warm with a fur coat - waiting for conditions to improve in the spring when they will burst into flower. Tony Tony, you have the eyes of a photographer. Great finding of "closed" and a well-composed and sharp image. |

Use this for my camera bag when I go out to take pictures, sadly it has been closed more than opened as of late.... Helen, I'm sure there will be many times in the future when this bag will no longer be closed. |

Closed but not for too long Pete, that bud looks like it's ready to open. You got it just in time for this theme. |

A long-closed general store that I drove past yesterday as the sun was setting. Tony, great capture of this closed store! The somber colors and the time of the day make it a sad yet beautiful image. |
