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.

What a gorgeous image. Amazing colors and capture of the seemingly split sky. Happy New Year Brigitte and Jeff.

From what I understand we have till winter solstice till we have to worry. Also there is no mention of the end of the world so I think Auntie is right. A beautiful picture to bring in the new year. May yours be happy

well, I wanted to do some more of your older uploads---uploads I missed because I didn't know your gallery back then---and here I am. I realize you may not see the 'notifications' for a while, if you're not on RR for a while...but they'll be here when you come back. You got great comments on this: I picked it out because I loved the photo; but then I saw the comments (wonderful comments!). I don't understand the whole Samoa/New Year thing, but I'll leave that aside since it was several years ago. As for the New Year Pic---
beautiful! More of your innate sense of finding bold 'presence' in everything you shoot. I love the sun here---I hope that's the sun, 'cause if it's the moon, man, you got one overactive moon down there---and that line of clouds? Or maybe a plane exhaust trail? To die for! Great capture, great seeing. With the purple silhouettes of growth in the foreground, and a few layers of land in the background: It's simple, eloquent, mysterious, and beautiful. Terrific piece, Brigitte. You have an eye like no one else here, and I just love to see what you're gonna do next. Ditto to all the praises above.

Thank you Mark, you make me blush with all that praise and even 5 years later, it's still working [!] - speaking of enjoying your praise of course and all the other great comments, I am touched and it makes me feel ever so humble to have shared it here @ RR with everybody... I cannot believe [years later] that I took that picture, must have been lucky - LOL
