I like to add a story behind this photograph. This was my 2nd weekend 4 mile back backing trip to Shi Shi Beach with a group of local photographers. We
started out in the late after noon what
looked like good weather with few clouds.
However just before reaching our destination the clouds started rolling in and sun started disappearing behind the clouds creating the sun rays behind Point of Arches. My main camera gear was
pack away, so with little time to spar
I took 3 images with my new Lumix point & shoot and got a shot of a lifetime.
The rest of the weekend was socked in by
clouds and fog.

Thanks very much for the kind comments
Paul
