I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Never seen such beautiful colored coast, Carin! And 'Yes': " I do believe that everything happens for a reason". There is a good Plan working out in us, for this life (which we sometimes 'struggle' ;-))

Excellent words..it is not what happens to you that matters so much as what you DO with what happens to you. An outstanding pic, I love all the layers/stripes.

Excellent mood ambience and striations in this ocean image, Carin! And, I do love the people who treat me right, and seek revenge, no matter how long it takes, on the ones who don't. No more turning-the-other-cheek-mister-nice-guy. And, a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, young lady!

Lovely picture and love your text and you're way of thinking as well. Life is maybe too short, but you might have other lifes to live Carin it's just a question of belief and faith. Life is not easy but if you think about it, is worth to live comparing to nothingness. I believe that nature and events that happen in your life are a mix of hazard and some aren't... In two words... i am glad to have met you through Renderosity a few weeks ago. hazard or not. that's the question ?! (W.Shakespeare)
