I had a few minutes today to fool with my new onOne software and some of my Topaz plugins. If I don't do that once in awhile, I'll forget how to use them. Only problem is that when I start messing with a photo, I get lost in time and nothing else gets done around here. I hope you'll excuse my lack of comments. I have been sooooo busy with a new grandchild and some other projects that have been neglected but staring me in the face. ;0)

Cindy - Grandma - I hope your grandchild and daughter are healthy. It certainly makes a busy time for you. The soft undulations of the water and late day sunlight provide a terrific contrast for the light, keepers house and skeleton-like walk to the light. Where is this light? Thad

I see you've been out walking on water again. It appears that a couple of folks missed you. Took me half an hour to scroll down this far. I think my Mouse takes orders from my Internet Service Provider.
Anyway, it's a lovely sunrise shot, and you even have diagonal waves.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
