Layers of Blue

May 31, 2008

Layers of beauty. Layers of allegory. Layers of post.

I humbly
(Ha! I’m dang proud of this, cliché or not!)
offer this photo as participation in both
Anna’s Project Blue
(blue sea & blue sky)
AND
Jeremiah’s, From the Ground, Up.
(from the sand to the heavens)

    Oooooo I LOVE it! Look at all those contrasts! Those clouds are just hangin’ there! You can almost see the strings holdin’ ‘em up!!! That is gorgeous!

  • Anna says:

    Lovely sky!

  • annette says:

    So you should be!! A stunning photo-well done :0)

  • Debbie says:

    This is gorgeous Quilly! Oh, how I’d love to be there :) Much more peaceful than Carletta’s dueling ants, yes I’m friggin jealous too…is she great or what LOL.

    Is that a lone man in your photo? Can I come visit? :)

  • Debbie says:

    Oh, on second look…looks too young for me. Wow, you should be proud!
    (I’m going to go clean something, my shots look pitiful)

  • June says:

    Beautiful shot!

  • Robert says:

    I’d like to file a complaint, please. It’s simply not fair that you have Hawaii to use as a photo subject while I have to shoot a hat in my garage under preconceived lighting configurations. Hee hee. Fantastic shot. And I love how humble you are! Can’t wait to see what’s next. :)

  • nea says:

    Nothing like a beautiful sunset on water. beautiful.

  • Mar says:

    You have every right to be absolutely proud of such a gorgeous shot!! and I loved Robert’s complaint, lol! :)
    I actually have the day off today but I thought I’d look !

  • Gattina says:

    Two in one and so beautiful !

  • Raven says:

    Wow. Beautiful shot. Must be nice to live in paradise.

  • juliana says:

    gorgeous!
    although i need some imagination to see the blue here ;)

  • Doug says:

    You are right to be proud. Of course, living Hawai’i is cheating.

  • Quilly says:

    Melli — God uses string?!

    Anna — thank you.

    Annette — — thank you.

    Debbie — some people just make it look easy. Unfortunately, she is much too nice so complaining about her leaves us sounding whiny and worse. And that IS a lone man in my photo, but his wife is sitting in the sand behind him with three kids …

    June — thank you.

    Robert — ah, poor baby. Here, have a cookie …..

    Nea — I love sunset, period; but the water does add and extra and awesome dimension.

    Mar — day off?! I took one and my stats dropped to 40 and have come back up to only half their former glory.

    Gattina — thank you.

    Raven — thank you, it has it’s perks.

    Juliana — adjust your monitor. I see it just fine. Pale at the top, navy at the bottom.

    Yo, Dawg, remember me? Ms. Pollyannna? Do you actually think I would cheat?

  • Dr. John says:

    Wow a one for two picture and a beautiful one at that.

  • That is breathtaking! I love it when it is almost dark, but you can still see the blue in the sky.

  • Carletta says:

    Quilly – stunning – you have every right to be PROUD!

    You and Debbie are both hoots!!!

  • dot says:

    What a beautiful sunset and great layers of blue!

  • Crazycath says:

    And you have no need to be humble on this one! You have every right to be PROUD! It is fantastic. Great colours. Great shot and perfect timing. Any sooner or later would have changed the lighting and the whole composition. You definitely have a great eye for this – real talent!

  • photowannabe says:

    Nice layers of blue and Hawaii sure has beautiful sunsets. Great project Blue.

  • Quilly says:

    Dr. John — thank you.

    Karen — I am so glad you said that! After Polona’s comment and OC saying it didn’t come out blue on his screen, I wondered if I was the only one who could see it.

    Carletta — together we might even make a riot.

    Dot — thank you.

    CarzyCath — I took 300 shots of this sunset. All I had to do was pick the perfect one.

    Photowannabe — — thank you.

  • Jientje says:

    Wow!!!
    This one is great, you should be proud of it!
    I will be joining Project blue later today too!

  • Quilly says:

    Yay, Jientje! Welcome aboard!

  • timtim says:

    very cool shot!

  • photowannabe says:

    Terrific 2 for the price of 1. This is a really cool shot.

  • Bill says:

    A wonderful picture of the Sunset, I can only imagine what the Sunrises look at. I miss my visits to the Ocean.

    thank you for sharing

  • Dillo says:

    Awesome! Well done! Isn’t Creation cool!

  • Quilly says:

    Tim — thank you.

    Photowannabe — thank you.

    Bill — I have yet to see a Hawaiian sunrise over the ocean. We are on the wrong side of the island. It is on my list of things to do!

    Dillo — God is good!

  • Dillo says:

    Q-
    Thanks for stopping by. I live in Southern Calif. We have taxes on taxes on top of the gasoline cost. I guess that’s why it’s a wee bit more here. Still…..

  • Alice says:

    WOW! Yup, just WOW!!

  • Quilly says:

    Dillo — gas costs more in California than it does in Hawaii, despite all the extra shipping charges?

    Alice — thank you.
