Wow! There's so much I love about this; besides the wonderful reflection, which would be a gorgeous shot on its own, you've got it framed by that line of double-arched ebb marks. Brilliant!!!!

Beautiful! I love the reflection, and those lovely undulating sandy curves are luscious. I like your quote ... it's quite thought provoking.

A very beautiful and creative photo and title. I agree, holding yourself together in times of despair is worth doing, for there is always hope and change with each new day. CC

This has nothing to do with this photo. This has everything to do with this photo. I'm re-reading the book, Helliconia Winter by Brian W. Aldiss...a fantastic, and under-rated science fiction writer. I'm re-reading "Winter" because I've just acquired the entire trilogy, Helliconia Spring, Helliconia Summer, and Helliconia Winter. The books were published in the 1980s (remember those?) and I'd only ever read the third one. What strikes me about this photograph is that it actually resembles some of the imagery in the Helliconia saga...only without humans and minotaur-like antagonists, who aren't actually bad guys so much as...well...um...kinda shaggy critters who occasionally get in the way and spread plagues. Well, it's more complicated than that, but what I'm getting at is that this image makes me think of the approach of winter on Helliconia (or the retreat of it, depending on your point of view.) I love the reflected sky in the water, which looks...to me, at least, like glacial ice retreating. The mood of this shot is fantastic, and I couldn't agree more with what you say. And, to put it in another way: "Hold on, because things get better...and when they do, you earn the right to say a hearty frak you to anybody who let hardship happen to you, but is very much interested in sharing your success. And, as you can guess, this is one more shot that's making me try to move South Africa and Namibia up on my list of places to get to ASAP!
