Sun, sand & salty sea

Tomorrow we are bundling the children in the car and heading off for a beach vacation. The holiday flat is on the 11th floor and the view is spectacular! These are pics of the sunrise I took, last time we were there. I love the last shot of the sun reflecting off the buildings, with the subdued colours of the clouds and the misty sea spray. Sigh, can't wait!

Terry Angelos has an array of artwork which is quirky and so appealing. I love her subject matter of birds, bunnies and robots and the way she renders them. Terry can be contacted through her blog the windmill diary.
