Amazing! How did you manage to catch the rays of light so well?
LikeLike
They were there, and I photographed them… :-)
LikeLike
I mean, whenever I see some, they’re always very faint, and somehow never end up on the shot in the camera…
LikeLike
Sometimes they are faint, but sometimes they can be quite dramatic. And of course there’s always Photoshop ;-)

Lot’s of references to heaven here. We always economically call these God moments although I’m not religious. Distant stripes of rain against a contrasting sky. Nice shimmer on the water. A great cameo from the birds and beautiful straight horizons. Did I mention the light? …and what everyone else said too. regards Peet

It does! Although to my mind these particular photos are a little melancholy, possibly partly because I know that it was the end of the day and the end of my entire stay in that beautiful place…

I know how it is exactly. I am so melancholy like that.
