Taken approaching Haiti, this shows the sun rising through an array of cleansing ocean showers which has just passed over our ship... some expect days of nothing but sun on a Caribbean cruise but the truth is far more varied and beautiful.
Shot with a Sigma SD Quattro H, this is really two handheld, badly alined shots combined with Aurora HDR. A single shot was close to this image, but just not quite as impactful as the deeper color the combination managed to achieve.
Following last nights full moon the River Thames breached it's bank at Richmond, Surrey at high tide today. I have never seen the water so high/deep!
On the day I drove up to Tibidabo, it was raining and foggy and cloudy and, generally, a great day for photography. Even though I had a GPS, I passed it several times; the fog was so thick you couldn't see more than a hundred feet.
Anyway, when I got here, I walked around, literally in the clouds. Tibidabo is a popular attraction on top of a mountain, but there were only a handful of people here; I think there were more employees than visitors.
I could see some of the attractions but not altogether. It was hard to get s sense of the place, I had to piece it together in my mind. I would walk up upon each attraction and have more of the puzzle. As I walked around, I felt like a ghost.
It made for a fun excursion, but it mirrored the oddity of the park itself. It felt like being in some strange dreamlike universe where things were not as they are in the waking world.
If the weather isn't right, it usually means there could be some interesting photos, and that's why I went. I'm glad I did; had I gone when it was sunny, it would have been a lot of people, and I think it would have been a much more mundane experience.

The Concord Beach Cafe on a cold, bright and windy Easter Sunday morning.
This was open for business on Good Friday and the seafront was heaving with people but today only the dog walkers were foolish (lucky) enough to venture out.
That wonderful blue sky didn't last long but as it is Boat Race Day perhaps it is an omen - Cambridge Blue?
