Somebody Save Me

such a lovely rendering of the clouds! I had to open it in largest size and enjoy the view for a minute extra :)

don't hassle the Hoff!

"bRILLIANT" :-))

#167/365 Took my kids to the beach for the first time in their little lives. They had fun. I brought the camera and realized if there are no rocks, jetties or peirs there is not much to take photos of. Water and sky are just not very interesting on their own. I Wanted to try my hand at timed exposures but it was too early in the afternoon. Maybe next time I will get closer to the pier.

This is good. Interesting sky, and the lifeguard station is a gift. Plenty of detail in the shadow areas despite shooting against the sun. Very well handled shot.

Is the title a Smallville reference?

Those clouds are fabulous, and the sun peeking round the edge of the life guard station is inspired.

One of your best shots ever.
