In 2005 and after 31 years in the brewing industry I chose "Freedom 55" and retired early. This allowed me to follow my passion of scuba diving and travel. I moved out to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada for 3 years and became a professional scuba instructer.  Shortly after returning from New Zealand in the fall of 2011, I have been having to deal with a couple of non diving related medical issues which has forced me to hang up the mask and fins for a spell. This should give me more time for taking pictures...lol.

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

OMPh, the colours that you've captured here are dazzling. And the clouds wraping themselves around the mountains as the sun goes down and the air chills is powerful and dramatic.

Love the colors and composition! I have vowed to get back to oil painting now that I've redone the spare room and can work there. The first things I am going to paint are sunsets and sunrises with silhouettes just so I can explore the more vivids colors such as you show here!

You always capture the most amazing and lively colors and this is no exception; I love the cool blues and the warmer hues all dancing around the nice silhouettes. So many great cloud and sky textures. I especially like that cloud band going across the distant mountain; it's nice and dark against the lighter sky and nice and light against the darker mountain...this whole shot is magical, and when I looked at the thumbnail, I was tempted to think that the little bit of wood (a tilted piling?) could have been a cousin to the Loch Ness Monster. What's not to like about that? This is really great work.
