Description Oxwich Bay. Sunrise 11th December '09.

If horizons collide (by AA)

 

I peek into windows in which your soul cowers behind

To which I now bare witness unto

An unavoidable Armageddon

As if the very Earth itself understood

Its calendar had forever lost a precious element 

The coming days have gathered to grieve

Your once serene and blossoming skies

Their warm colours freezing over

Their halcyon splintering into unforgiving shards

That the Gods themselves dare not pick

Fear not

For I will sit beside you

Under your unforgiving storm

Hands drenched in crimson

We will build your skies until you love them again.

Amazing!
The contrast is just perfect, the way the sky reflects on the water is so incredible, so those the horizon, just like a masterpiece. You were in the right place at the right time.

Go to the same beach in the Summer and it's end-to-end, lobster-burned people. Heh...my fuji has done me very proud so far (but would really like an upgrade now).

Fuji are a great camera I use to have a fuji 602zoom fantastic camera and always worked especially well on skies. What do you fancy upgrading to ??

It really depends what I can afford (no doubt a canon or nikon), had some saved up but the stupid bank reduced my overdraft with 2 weeks notice! Money had to go on that instead damn them
