It was blowing a gale this evening, but never too much to stop us photographing something. Sawtell is an amazing place for fishing, surfing, walking, kayaking, swimming, eating and photographizing.

My head hurts. I read the heading and immediately became confused. It is early morning here on planet earth and this evening is yet to happen (shades of the X-Files with appropriate music). I have come down from my frenetic panic state and have this to say about the future.

#1 and #2 looks too grey and forlorn to be out taking photos.

#3 Now this is just perfection. Beautiful colours complete with God rays - love it

I like all of these but agree with Chris that there is something majestic about the last image. It has a spiritual, classical religious feel to it that humbles the viewer.

Next time Chris, read the date stamp on the post... (shades of Keystone Cops with appropriate music)

Matt, I recently listened to a very old song (the title of which I have forgotten) but it read something like this:

"Songs are made by fools like me;
But only God could make a tree." (Insert sunset...)

Hi Ozi - I do like the first but am unsure about the loop rail on the left - I suspect the image might be stronger without that distraction
The last is also very nice but I reckon that very dark foreground doesn't add to the image and could be cropped completely so you're left with the nice reflective water at the bottom
