      Beautiful. Great photo. I am so jealous. I haven't been here in almost 40years. Looks like I need to get back & with a camera this time.

      Al,

      Thanks for your kind comments. It is an awesome place! The weather is perfect! It is a bit cool in the mornings (45 degrees) but by the end of the day I think it is 80 degrees or so.

      Lolly, I always have a polarizing filter when I am shooting outdoors. This makes for wonderful blue skies. Also, the shot was taken in the morning around 9:30 and the light was still nice and not washed out yet. If I had taken this shot later in the day, the sky would not have been so blue.
