sun in cactus

Thankyou so much Glenn, glad you like. Suspect you might be the only local who hasn’t visited this area yet…

I know, I know, I know!... I do that so often though – you have all these photos of one subject to make choices from – and then you move on before it’s really time, often for variety’s sake.
This one did require some work though, and round that time there was a spot on the lens that found it’s way into everything!
Something I’ve noticed about sunsets is that the exposure darkens the sky – so in the back of my mind this felt like cheating to present a shot – presumably ‘natural’ – which is different straight from the camera than in the real scene. The colours here are intensified.
But I’m not lying about the peacefulness & beauty – and just listen to that water lapping and slapping to the edge.. very spiritual.

Lol – well I take that as a double compliment then. Thankyou, thankyou Umbra!! :))

Thankyou david, wasn’t hard in this beautiful place though!

Yes, there’s a kissing scene in the next frame… No! That would spoil everything:) It was most soothing to be there -Thankyou lareejc.

Hi Alan, just admiring your portfolio – I get the impression you have a strong technical slant. I’m much less technical – definitely wasn’t aiming for a vignette. Think what makes this special for me is the way the waves are rhythmically spacing out the light – calming effect, as was being there. Welcome to the Bubble!

Thankyou for your sunny comments Joanne, that sun almost burns your eye even in the photo:)

Thankyou katkuzma :))

Thanks so much Jane, I like this one a lot :))

Thankyou IrishPics, this would have to be my most relaxing shot…zzzzzz

I like this piece coz it’s tranquil…thankyou KatsEye!

Bless you Babbler, it sure is:)

Thanku Mar, this one’s a favourite of mine.

I absolutely love this image, and I’m glad you like it too.-Thankyou, it’s always great to get your comment, Prasad.

linaji, you say the BEST things! I love reading your comments on everyone’s work because you always seem so warm and see the wonderful in everything. You actually made something gel for me with your comment above about the eye connecting to the heart: It makes sense of what I should be trying to do – I have to clarify that sometimes to myself!
Immense thanks

Elenne, this is a superb comment, thankyou and many hugs in return!

Blessings, poupoune. I love your nature shots.

What beautiful adjectives you have! It was so peaceful James, and the water slaps up against the shore in a distinctive rhythm that I’ve only heard in this place – makes me want to be there now…

The photo conveys the peace I felt, thankyou very much Helene:)

Thanks mike,sorry I can’t reciprocate by checking out your work – I’m having a problem with images not downloading when I tune into this site – I’m ‘blind’:(

You rrrr feeling sleepy, very sleeepyyyy…

Wonderful! Thankyou, micmac. Still in awe of your work – delicate and tender flowers, wonderful light, etc. It inspires me.

Pablo, Pablo, Pablo! What are you doing back commenting on this one? lol. Nice to hear you again!!!

You darling. It’s a poetic place, each time I see this photo I’m reminded of how peaceful I felt there, and how much I miss that.

One of my favourites, thankyou wildrider.
