    Miss Sailorette~ This is so different than anything I have seen in a long while..There is something really special about it for me! And I must commend you for your dedication. It is obvious that you are shooting this from way up atop a mountain, yet the water is far below. It must be extremely difficult for you to be dragging your dinghy around in such high altitudes, and where ever you go. Incredible!

    Smooth Sailing!...~Hank

    I used to live in a place (Cape Verde, Africa) where you had to climb up into the mountains everyday and when you reached the top you looked over the top of clouds and the ocean. I have ever since had a love of clouds. This picture captures just such moments that I love.

    The soft colours in your dawn mist series are great and I just love the gorse in the foreground. We never see shades like that in Far North Queensland. Also really taken with treelight, the cloud/mist coming off the water is beautiful.

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    thanks so very much – how lovely of you to browse through.. it was an exceptionally lovely day to be in this beautiful place.. and i was so glad i woke early to see this…and never dreamt I’d be able to share it across the globe like this.. the wonders of rb!! treelight was my other pet fave too…

    I prefer this image to the the ‘colorized’ one in the challenge. It is still ‘rich’ in color and mood, yet in this digital/photo-shop age I look for some aspect of ‘reality’ to images that ‘naturally’ draw me into them.
    You’re a fine photographer with a ‘good’ eye. (IMO) ;-)
