The Wife was busy taking pictures when I looked up behind the beach. Wow, the light had changed and the dark rain clouds inland were being made more exquisite by the sun lighting up the foreground.
Alas, by the time I had my hands on the camera, the light had shifted once more and a picture of pure drama was reduced to a rather bland looking landscape. Not one to give up that easily, I took the image anyway and wondered what I might be able to produce with a few tweaks here and there.

Certainly not the dramatic image that I had seen seconds before, but what do you think?
Still fabulous, my good man. Captures a richly melancholic, brooding as you say, beauty regardless of what you think you missed. 🙂
Cheers!
Kathryn
