Neist Point in a velvia coat

An almost cloudless sky, except for the few on the horizon, but ofcourse there was a big one in front of the sun almost the whole sunset. Luckily it popped out for a minute so I could at least get 1 sheet exposed. The sun wasn't at full strength, which was actually a good thing, so I could keep detail in the shadows.

I'm usually not big on shooting postcard-like images, but this one is growing on me. I was hoping for an interesting sea and wild sky, but you can't have it all. At least I could stand on the edge of the cliff, because there was hardly any wind.
