I forgot that it was winter in your part of the world LE. Glad that didn't keep you from getting out and getting this nice shot of the beach. The boat adds to the scene and gives balance.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom i trust". Psalm 91: 1 and 2
The haze over the beachfront to the right gives this image a lot of depth, and it also provides a strong contrast to the sharp shadows thrown by the rocks and footprints in the sand on the left. I'm not sure I would have titled it "lonely" though--unless that family had been there for a long time, that's an awful lot of footprints for these four people (and however many are in that group by the rocks). Nice shot, Lyn.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Because of a busy schedule, I have been unable to comment on photos recently. Please know that your work has been viewed and enjoyed. Thank you for understanding.
