Incredible colors in those clouds. Murky yet beautiful.

Ditto to the above! It does look like a painting (and a very fine one at that)!

Many thanks everyone.

The lighthouse is actually the old windmill up on Wickham Tce in Brisbane. I know it won’t be offended, since it had such a dark past. The rest was a couple of concrete textures and fiddled by way of layer blends. Oh, and the birds.

Thanks again for stopping by.
