Yes, I can see it that, you and I and my dog sitting on that bench and breathing the salty air! It looks wonderful, will you bring something to eat? I'll bring the wine!

Truly a beautiful scene, Verena! The dark clouds make the green grass and the moss on the bench pop out. Well done!!

This is a very good image Verena, I really love it...it has everything, storm clouds that look very threatening, but look good in a photo, the oceans waves, giving you the opportunity NOT to go in for a swim!....and that seat....Woweee!...I can just picture 'us' sitting real cosy on here!..Paul can sit with his dog!.. as long as he brings plenty wine for all of us....I will bring the 'Fish n' Chips!'..........Bob

Leave some room on the bench for me too, Verena...love the drama here...great shot and well balanced and composed.:Pat.

Ok well we will all have to squeeeeeeze a lot to fit on this bench..but I think we can manage it just fine! As long as there's the wine eh? ooooo that rhymes!!

Hi Verena. This seeing is very dramatic with the dark clouds. The bench looks pretty old but steady. Old things are always a good photo opportunity.

Nice snag. I know this spot I think. Near Seaside? Love the emotion in this shot.

Very beautiful: Makes me wish for a trip to the coast. As far as the image goes, I don't think anyone could have done any better. The bench placement, the clouds, the sea and the slight misting adds to the real life drama here.
10 by me and on my desktop for a week.

I love this picture. The storm clouds add so much emotion to the pic. Well done.

I absolutely love the clouds and the ocean right in front of the bench. Good job at framing this photograph up.

I will be leaving shortly to join you! This is so pretty! Beautiful, rich colors in this capture...love it!

very beautiful. well captured shot

Verena- one word for this ( Magnificent)

i didnt even notice the shoreline until i saw it close up...good lighting...theres many clouds, yet the light on the bench and the grass seems perfect....i like.

Wow. Somehow I missed this one. I saw it in your gallery when looking for something else. How far are you from the ocean? Must not be far. You post a lot of beach scenes. Love this sky. It is awesome in it's threaning colors. The ocean mist along the beach in the background is lovely as well. Love this scene. I will visit it often.

Just saw this/ gave it a well deserved 10 in VB, --nice work!

Wow Verena, This is beautiful! I love the ocean too, so I know exactly how you feel...
Thanks for sharing!

Powerful image Verena. Exposure is right on the money. The weather and distant city evoke a mood of isolation and self reflection. Wonderful encapsulation of a moment. Thanks for sharing this. anne :-)

For a still photo there's so much happening in this shot, it's brilliantly timed.
