• A fine coastal view in this paradise of place to visit and shoot pictures.
  The tones and colors in the water are very special. Nice job of shooting.

• oodles of oceanic atmosphere Sherry, and wonderful quote.....I live in an estuary in a houseboat and as the increase and decrease of the tides grow with the moons pull, I have long slack tides where the river becomes a 'pond'...always a phenomena to see a river flow 'backwards'.

Oahu Island, Hawaii


At the [Great Divide], the rivers part and flow toward the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico (Atlantic). Rivers mingle here and lap the shores of the islands.


All rivers, even the most dazzling, those that catch the sun in their course, all rivers go down to the ocean and drown. And life awaits man as the sea awaits the river.
– Simone Schwarz-Bart
