Picture shot early in the morning. Calm sea before sunrise lit the horizon. It was just a shade of blue all around with clouds hovering over the sea. Flic en Flac beach in Mauritius.

The lake color under the blue sky in the late afternoon lighting was amazing to see.

Happy Travel Tuesday

A wider version of the view from Mount Tamalpais over San Francisco than something I uploaded a few weeks ago, the park is supposed to close at sunset, and I was at the end of the park road, a 30 minute drive from the gate, already 20 minutes AFTER sunset, I was worried about getting locked inside, when I arrived, the parking area was almost full, when I left, there was only one other car remaining. I hope they made it out in time, I drove like crazy down the road, and the rangers seemed ready to lock the gate behind me, and no, you cannot camp at the summit. The weather conditions were exceptionally clear that day, it's not worth the risk and stress otherwise.

… Please press L to enlarge… patterns are made with Moiré effect … sorry that after jpg and upload there is some quality deterioration…

Moiré effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots that is superimposed on another set of lines or dots, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. The moiré effect can be seen when looking through ordinary window screens at another screen or background. It can also be generated by a photographic or electronic reproduction, either deliberately or accidentally. (whatis.techtarget.com/definition/moire-effect )
