Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward (Gifts From the Sea)

Published by

on

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

    Cool image Lisa! Almost appears to be black & white except for the blue sky. The message in those few words reflect from the image.

    I love Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s “Gifts from the Sea.” I find a lot of answers staring at the Pacific Ocean. Your photo is wonderful!

      Photos of blue skies are certainly a lot more interesting when there are some clouds involved. πŸ™‚

    This looks like almost black and white. Great idea, Lisa and a very exciting effect.
