thanks Sam - well, probably not at dawn :)
Technically, this is New Brighton beach but it's
Capitola to me <grin>

Nah, just a crop, not alot going on in the
sky that morning;
Jiri, lovely image. My opinion it doesn't need color. Perfect!
Thanks for the comments on mine too.

Nice shot, Jim - excellent layers and diagonals.
Jiri - I love both sunflower shots. Your pastoral landscapes have inspired me, and I tried to emulate your style this morning. The result is not worth posting!:D
Here's a shot from a place I discovered about a week ago. I bungled the shot then, but a couple nights ago things were looking promising for some fantastic light and clouds. Well, they materialized, but I wasn't there! I got away from the house a little late, stopped on the way to talk to someone I hadn't seen in a couple months, then couldn't find this spot! I ended up at a poor substitute, tried to make it work, and never even tripped the shutter... :( I went back last night in far less optimal conditions, to make sure I could find the place next good opportunity!

Another beautiful shot, Gregg! Love the gradations in the water.
Gregg (? - h2oman), keep trying, the right shot will eventually come through. Though, the landscape here around me helps quite a lot, it's rather calm, without drama (usually). Even the pre-storm cloudy skies, the only thing that can add dramatic atmosphere, are not that common. To me, the landscape really speaks of calmness and serenity by itself - as I try to show in this portfolio.
And second reason, I have enough stress and adrenalin in my day job (and while surviving the activities of my small children), so I try to find relaxation and calmness when I'm out photographing (and when I look at photos, too).
I think the quality and mood of photos you capture has a lot to do with the mood and way of life you lead (or what you miss in it)...
