With so many gorgeous elements to recommend it, and which others have commented on, I’ll simply add two things which leapt out at me, grabbed me by the cajones, and enraptured me. That stunning cloud which appears midway between the horizon and the tops of the palm trees, and the spectacular detail of the – what would a botanist call them? – spikey fronds or leaves? I’ll never get A-Levels in Botany I’m sure, but I know a gorgeous photograph when I see one. And could the colors be any more perfect? A SUPERB photograph joanne !!!

Very romantic! Looks so much more inviting than what’s outside my window… a coating of ice on everything… 4 degrees. What a dreamy scene you’ve shared here!

You know, these vacation shots are not coming fast enough Joanne. I get cold inbetween uploads! This is a stellar shot. The lighting is very unique. I thought it was a sunset or sunrise and I see its not. Its just coooool lighting. Well taken.
