Jeff- Now this would be a way to enjoy a round of golf. It would certainly relax one for the game. Such gorgeous composition, just love all the shore line that wee get to see and the water having such a calming effect. The colors are so beautiful and perfect for this paradise setting. The sky with that morning glow and sun breaking into the start of another day is breath taking.
A beautiful work of art my friend.
Have a great day and take care. #8696891
