Very nice ahot Carin. I like the blue from the sky in the water.
Superb capture Carin. God Bless.
Quiet enchanting! Well spotted and captured!
Wise words and a most wonderful photo.
Beautiful capture and words!
I have to agree with Andrea. Beautiful!! xx
Great shot.
Such a gorgeous capture, and the perfect quote too, both for the photo and just for inspiration. You have an incredible eye. Stunning work! :)
A very good kind of abstract.
Lovely Carin and I like the little footprints in the sand.
wonderful
SUPERLATIVE WORK
Beautiful creation!!!
a wonderfully liquid sky Carin :)
Wow! There's so much I love about this; besides the wonderful reflection, which would be a gorgeous shot on its own, you've got it framed by that line of double-arched ebb marks. Brilliant!!!!
truer words have never been spoken! Great image
Beautiful! I love the reflection, and those lovely undulating sandy curves are luscious. I like your quote ... it's quite thought provoking.
Beautiful!
A very beautiful and creative photo and title. I agree, holding yourself together in times of despair is worth doing, for there is always hope and change with each new day. CC
This has nothing to do with this photo. This has everything to do with this photo. I'm re-reading the book, Helliconia Winter by Brian W. Aldiss...a fantastic, and under-rated science fiction writer. I'm re-reading "Winter" because I've just acquired the entire trilogy, Helliconia Spring, Helliconia Summer, and Helliconia Winter. The books were published in the 1980s (remember those?) and I'd only ever read the third one. What strikes me about this photograph is that it actually resembles some of the imagery in the Helliconia saga...only without humans and minotaur-like antagonists, who aren't actually bad guys so much as...well...um...kinda shaggy critters who occasionally get in the way and spread plagues. Well, it's more complicated than that, but what I'm getting at is that this image makes me think of the approach of winter on Helliconia (or the retreat of it, depending on your point of view.) I love the reflected sky in the water, which looks...to me, at least, like glacial ice retreating. The mood of this shot is fantastic, and I couldn't agree more with what you say. And, to put it in another way: "Hold on, because things get better...and when they do, you earn the right to say a hearty frak you to anybody who let hardship happen to you, but is very much interested in sharing your success. And, as you can guess, this is one more shot that's making me try to move South Africa and Namibia up on my list of places to get to ASAP!
Interesting sandscape. Aloha
Give me a picture with sand and water and I'll love it anytime, anywhere:) This looks like a miniature landscape...very cool.
