Photographer’s Note
My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

Hello Stella,
Happy New Year, 2009. A fine contre-jour image with a very pleasing atmosphere. I very much like the sun's rays peeping through the clouds a and shimmering over the sea.

Mi piace il modo in cui hai catturato i raggi che forano le nubi ed illuminano le onde lunghe del mare sulla spiaggia. Buon lavoro sulla luce. Brava.

Ciao Stella,
a dynamic scene with the beams of the sun to penetrate the dark clouds and to make the surface of the sea to shine in the right part of the scene.The combination of the dark sea and the blue part of the sky create a perfect balance.Well done.
Have a nice and healthy New Year, Danos

Hi Stella,
it seems you do not have to search for God anymore. I think he found you :)
Well...it just looks so divine, this light bursting through clouds like that.
Amazing scenery, completely overwhelming when one feels so small and humble.
Pure delight.
My best,
Jeri

Cara Stella
Una foto fantastica direi quasi apocaliptico che mi fa ricordare grande pitture del settecento appunto e in armonia con la poesia scritto apposto al lato. Le nuovole son cosi minacciose contro una terra sottomessa dal temporale. Bravo e complimenti ihsan

Quasi fosse troppo grande e troppo potente per le virtù comuni, l'oceano ignora compassione, fede, legge, memoria.
La sua incostanza può essere mantenuta conforme ai propositi umani solo con una risolutezza indomita, e con una
vigilanza insonne, armata, gelosa, in cui, forse, c'è sempre stato più odio che amore. Odi et amo può ben essere la
professione di fede di coloro i quali coscientemente o ciecamente hanno consegnato la propria esistenza al fascino
del mare.
Impenetrabile e senza cuore, il mare non ha dato nulla di se stesso a coloro che ne hanno corteggiato i precari favori. Diversamente dalla terra, non si può soggiogarlo a nessun prezzo di pazienza e di fatica. Benché siano tanti coloro che il suo fascino ha adescato e condotto a una morte violenta, la sua immensità non è mai stata amata come sono state amate le montagne, le pianure, persino il deserto.
Joseph Conrad

Bonjour Stella,
tu as treè bien capturé les lumières de cette scène qu'il faut avouer assez délicate à appréhender.
Malgré le peu de lumière on distingue tellement de choses.
Très bien vu.
Amicalement.
Daniel.
