What a wonderful job you did in composing this beauty my friend. The depth of the picture is awesome. This looks like a most beautiful place for a walk. The colors and lighting are gorgeous. Love that sky. Love how we see the light in the lighthouse and then the lights on the pier. I really enjoy the legs of the pier and then the way the lamp post have that cane type shape to them. A work of beauty my dear friend.
Annie and I hope your day is a wonderful one. #9254036
