Well said, Laurence. Nature is such an exquisite artist. We’re lucky, Jeanette, that you collaborated with her in this painting for us.
Yes indeed. Thank you very much.
This shot of yours, Jeanette, finds my liking very much. It is quietly lovely. Nice muted colours, good composition and I like the way the foreground is highlighted by low level light offsetting the sombre stormy clouds above.
Thanks for the sharing.
Laurence
