Blaze of Glory [Contest Finalists December 2011]
Uploaded: December 12, 2011 16:55:14
This photo was taken three minutes before "Sea Stacks at Sunset"… before the geese flew by… and about three steps farther down the beach. Venus is slightly less visible above the large sea stack on the left, and the evening colors are somewhat more intense here… in the sky and in the reflections. Plus a sea-sand sculptured rock is visible in the foreground in this image.
Quote of the Day: “The man who is completely wise and virtuous has no need of glory, except so far as it disposes and eases his way to action by the greater trust that it procures him.” ~ Plutarch
