” You are maybe an ocean” Nice suggestive work and love the way you postion this work for us . To me, the first image is expressing that the most. The others are illustrating a bit and maybe also decrease the suggestive nature.
Thank you very much. Yes, I avidly concur. The first photo was definitely the one I put more heart and feeling into. Thanks very much for your superb comment and for coming by! Ebullient cheers and best wishes,
Autumn Jade
Gorgeus photos, and great thoughts!

Very relevant quotations. Serene/placid like a sea, turbulent like a sea, deep like a sea, vast like a sea, absorbing like sea, life sustaining like sea, uppermost crust is not the inner indicator of the sea: such is the variety in sea that we are at sea in many respects about the sea, we see.
Thanks so much for the kind and inspiring words!! So true, so apt…how I love the sea. Thank you for drizzling by!

My gratitude.

Great photo who gives me a desolate feeling
Thanks! Aye. I was feeling desolate when I took them. Thanks so much for the kind words!
The composition in the first one is awesome. It’s just the right amount of blur to make it look unreal and the sun and silhouette are used to great effect. Have you thought about trying videography?
Thank you so much. It was a spectacular moment to see through the lens for me indeed. Videography, yes. I have been fiddling with it a bit, here and there.
Interesting photos. Thanks for stopping by Humorous Interludes. By the way, I also have a photo blog at bigron42.com called, Photomania, if you are interested in seeing some of my work. 🙂
““The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you’ll never have.”” yeah, I can relate to that.. 😀
