..is very much where I would like to be now 🙂 Perfectly vast – it gives ones a sense of “owning” the world. Stunning capture! Thank you, Tish 🙂
Just like Torquay. 😉
Snort 😉
and double snort.
Actually, to spoil the mood perhaps, there’s a bit of a story to this pic. We were staying on a small coral island – the whole thing was a resort. Every sunset a load of people would gather on the beach to photograph the sunset – waiting for just the moment. Oblivious to the waiting small crowd, or the effect he was having upon them, Graham duly set off into the sea, wading towards the sun and into their field of vision. I think the would be photographers were French so there were a few ‘merde’ expletives. I took my photo of G, and retreated.
But don’t you think he makes the photo? You’ll prob say yes, but I’m sure you see what I mean.
Oh yes. It wouldn’t be the same without him 🙂
You could also have cropped it either way to have had just one person in the pic. I’d have been tempted to do that and post all three.
Lovely interpretation of the ‘Special’ Tish.
Thank you, Kate. I thought people would find it tranquil and therefore soothing – an antidote to shopping hype.
I like the ‘back story’, Tish, but I think I’d like to test out that ‘somewhere’ even more 🙂
Beautifully simple, Tish.

Happy new year Tish.
And all best wishes to you, too, Maria
As beautiful a capture this is, the 2 people included in the shot make it all the more special, to my eye.
I like the toning here very much.
As Paula already stated – I wouldn’t mind being there right now and staying on for a while (at least while the islands are still above water).
Yes, you are right. That is a very serious consideration, Annette. The Maldives are in a very perilous position.
It is a stunning photo! Love the colours!
Thanks very much.
