golden hour

golden hour

...on a mexican beach in the Yucatan

Taken on the first day with my first ever dlsr… :))

This golden hour was only momentary after all…replaced fleetingly by a “silver moment”: http://www.redbubble.com/people/dinghysailor1/art/3108004-4-silver-moment

Changing light on the waves lapping the shore in Mexico’s Yucatan just held me spellbound… and clicking my new dlsr…



Cheers for looking
