Another remarkable photo!! This took my breath away and would make a stunning poster. Thanks Paul for all your outstanding photo abilities.
Joan
Thank you Ginnie, Laurence and Rebecca.

Such an amazing shot, Paul!
Such an interesting composition of a rough, rocky foreground and shallow water pools in the foreground and a late, yellow sunset background colours competing against an amazingly clear, late-winter starry sky in Colorado, USA. Definitely a place where one that you just could sit and look at for hours and reflect back in time to appreciate our vast, amazing universe and also wonder what will happen in the future as well! No light pollution around to ruin the view there from any major cities! The stars are reflected in the perfectly-still waters of the pool like jewels. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
I echo Ginnie’s comment 100%. Brilliant shot, Paul.
I really love the mirror reflection of the stars in the water. That’s imagination for you, also, an eye that really sees!
Laurence
Paul, you have done it again! Another stunning photograph. Thank you.
