Thank you Max! You know I always value your comments :))) This was taken at sunrise, I had wake them at 5am LOL! #7419023Max Aureli April 19, 2009
WOW... because taken at sunrise makes even a better shot!! I read that to get golden colors on sunrise it's just a matter of minutes and, after that you start to get blue tonalities!!!! Great shot and congratulations on your deserved early shot EFP!!! Betsy friend!! :-))) #7419055Betsy Labuschagne April 19, 2009
Thanks again Max! I didn't know that about golden colors, interesting :) We had nice sunrises over the ocean, sunsets were not really spectacular. I'm planning where to go on holiday next year to get nice coastal sunsets :))) #7419077Max Aureli April 19, 2009
All the coast from Morocco and down to Senegal if you wont to stay in Africa or, Italy in the Tirreno sea coast!! From Rapallo, Portofino Le Cinque Terre down to Tuscany coast, Elba Island is spectacular, Punta Ala, Giglio Island and down to Amalfi coast, Positano, Sorento.... I will never finish!!! :-))) #7419137Betsy Labuschagne April 19, 2009
