• that must be a wonderful thought when you're away from the sea and waves - that it's still there. i will keep this in mind this winter.
  
  i love the pinkish light in this one.

• Beautiful; I love the colors in the sky.
  Yes, I often think about things like that. At the ocean I'll wonder about the path taken by the water and its constant wear on the shore. On a hike I'll pick up a stone and wonder if it has ever been touched before. Imagination runs free in places like this where nature is in command.

• What a beautiful composition Sherri. I love these muted tones, the feeling of zen, peace and tranquility. The colours of the sky are so calming.

• A beautiful seascape! I love how it seems to extend onwards for eternity, with waves lapping to shore at both ends.

Oahu Island, Hawaii


John Archibald Wheeler said, ”We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.”

Makes me wonder if he spent much time standing by the sea. As I view this image it occurs to me that waves are still lapping their way to shore at this very moment. Do you ever think about things like that?
