ReplyDeleteI love the quote at the end. Lay your burden down.
Hello John, your sky images are just beautiful. Gorgeous sunset. Seeing the cruise ship reminds me of our Alaska cruise from Seattle, such a fun time. I love the cute dog in the car and the Eskimo Baby looks warm. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteFull Hunter's Moon . . . what an amazing photo. I love the reflection in the water . . . John, you out did yourself with this shot. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe ice breaker brings back lots of good memories. When I was in the Arctic, the ice breakers called on us every summer. They brought some of our freight.m

Your blog is such a treasure trove, John! My husband and I are moved by your beautiful photographs! Your subjects are so well framed, in what your eye & therefore your lens captures. These photos are peaceful and awe inspiring! The quality of each photo in the crispness, the color, composition and light, is a pleasure to the eye! I tried to pick a favorite, but appreciate so many of them for different reasons. Why choose a favorite when we can enjoy it all? I suppose one of the most outstanding joys which you are sharing here with so many, is your gift of capturing light and its reflections! I love the sunbeams! You capture so well the sun's life giving yellows and golds with the rising and setting of the sun as seen straight on, if we but take the time to look and see. The locations you've chosen show them to their best advantage! However, the soul inspiring and quieting moments are often the more strongly felt when the sun is shining through the clouds ('Before Sunset') where one sees the warmth within it's colors. Seemingly in contrast, but not really in essence are the those 'Sky photos" such as 'Sunbeams on a Stormy Night,' where there seems to be barely any color at all. We know the sun is there, because the light is still there, seen in a different way but still present. Is that rough waters beside the still? Your capturing of the points of brightness in the dark but still waters is so complete, so real and promising! This is the reality and beauty of life, isn't it though? Thank you for your beautiful and meaningful work.
