You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

Actually, this a bit ominous, with the sun splitting in half and all, maybe those Mayans were right...YIKES ! Kidding aside BB, super composition, light play and postwork effects ! Here's to an ace future & a BIG ~CHEERS~ :o)

Great colored capture, Brigitte! Yes, I heard about Samoa in TV. Wonder about any of the citizens are going to sue the state for loosing one day? ;o) Happy New Year to you and you family! :o) JohnnyC

A fabulous capture of the early morning light and the trail going right through the sun looks amazing. I hope it is a good omen for the new year. Although Samoa are going to be ahead of us in time, we are still going to see the sun first. I hope you and Jeff have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Wow. I just read up on the whole Samoa thing. Now I need a nap ... I'm exhausted! LOL! I've got the Mayan thing all figured out. They carved that big calendar, and said, "Okay, that one's done. Shall we start the next page?" Somebody said, "Nah ... screw 'em. They can carve their own. I'm done!" Really ... we buy new calendars every year. I don't think December 31st is the end of the world ... just the end of the year! Buy a new calendar, and the world will be just fine. :P Did I mention how much I like your image? Beautiful!

Gorgeous color blends in this stunning shot of the horizontal contrail crossing the fuzzy sun, Brigitte! I would like to see samoa of that type of thing. And congratulations for being third in line for the upcoming new year and for all those following it. We in California follow up near the rear of the progression.

A super catch of the sunrise and if you are reading this - then the Mayans didn't get you. Funny narrative. :o)

Beautiful picture, I love the clouds in the middle of the sun. As for the Mayans and the end of the world Auntietk could not express better. Among the many scientists who study the Mayans, no one has to consider that the Mayans stopped writing their calendar at 2012 because they ran out of stone? Or because the artist died? Or got a girlfriend and found other more interesting things to occupy time? There is only one who knows the fate of mankind, and I do not think he will tell us.So do not worry. Just live life as best we can, while we can. A happy new year to you, your family and for all Australia.

Hip, hip, hooray for BB-chen. Love this pic. Wonderful colors, it would be great on canvas on a wall. It gives such an endless view/look. Indeed 'Glorious', as Andrea wrote.

astonishing image! Happy New Year 2012!!

I'm currently using my image to Jacomina to go to galleries and have lined up some images to comment on. The comment after yours was by fallen21 and her latest image is titled "The End is Coming" I think this could be a sign. But then again, I'm eating pecans and I just almost ate one with the bitter inner stuff on it, but I saw it at the last moment. Whew! That was lucky! A sign of good luck! I'll go with that sign instead. Lovely image! It looks like a crack in the sky, (but I've had a sign of good luck, so I'm sure it isn't.) Beautiful soft silhouettes and hazy colors. I love the way the sunlight radiates out from the sun and softly fades. Since I haven't heard of any major voids on your side of the planet, I'm going to assume I'll be seeing more post from you. :) Happy New Year to you and yours!

Best wishes, health and creativity for the New Year 2012 for you and your loved ones!

Hi BB, what a dramatic morning full of light and promise. I happily ignore the Mayans...if they are right so what...if not, I've got a lot of living to do and a lot of pictures to postwork:-) This is a wonderful scene...wowser!
