Different yes and very effective, too, Rona...Love how the cloud patterns mimic the water ripples and love that perspective with both the rocky ledge and the catwalk leading the eye to that fantastic point of interest - what a very cool place to photograph - bet the opps possibilities are endless between the pov and the time of day! :) :) #9397748
