Afternoon at the beach....
..in southern Portugal.
The clouds are an extreme blow up. I loved that part of the image and the digital effects of that blowup make it look pretty cool.

Success removing chain link fence
The current AI contest made me revisit a photo I took in 2008 that I've been trying to save from a chain link fence.

Resting Eagle
It was July 6, 2026, around 6:30 p.m. The sun was settling low over Port Orchard, and the wildlife seemed to settle with it.

An afternoon out on the water
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

Very nice work, Charles. I love that lonely seashell's journey the most.
Thanks as usual. Obviously, took many shots. Debated whether to show a tumbling wave (active) but I thought the restive one keeps in line with the calmness of the rest of the photo.
Lovely work Charles, whereabouts in Portugal - Algarve? We'll be spending a month there later this year.
Like PG, I especially enjoy the beach scene. There is a great balance between sand & ocean, and a sense that the incoming wave will sculpt even more around that solitary shell.
Thanks. Yup. This was taken in Lagos. (Make sure you pronounce it lay-goh-sh.! :-) It's my favorite place in the Algarve.
