Watch and Listen here 
Play It Loud
*^if only tonight we could sleep
in a bed made of flowers
if only tonight we could fall
in a deathless spell
if only tonight we could slide
into deep black water
and breathe
and breathe…
then an angel would come
with burning eyes like stars
and bury us deep
in his velvet arms
and the rain would cry
as our faces slipped away
and the rain would cry
don’t let it end…^*

I love this. Peaceful but ominous at the same time. The clouds are giving the sea a real darkness, but then the sunrays at the back. Nature at its controversial best.
Thank you so much Sue. I guess the song sorta says that too eh? Something so beautiful … yet something maybe we can only wish for.
There rays of light shining down giving hope, great picture and set to the wonderful cure ,so musical yet so intense Paul :)))))))))))))))))))))))
VBS Thanks so much Paul :)

i allways love it when i see rays of light like this… gives me that feeling of peace ..wonderfull contribution to the challenge.
It was amazing being on the beach that night and watching as that ray of light appeared and slowly moved through the cloud cover. :) I am so grateful I got to capture that moment :) :)

Yes, i believe you; must have been a great experience and a memory to carry with you in your heart.
It really was (and a lot of other memories from that trip) :) It was taken down the South of Western Australia in Albany. :)
