[This is the fifth photo of the Magic Beach "series"]
Mother Nature's treasures!!! 😊
It came as a big surprise. I had been at this beach a couple of years ago. This time, the idea was once again to shoot sunset, with the golden light bathing the peaks of the mountains standing on the other side of the fjord.
But, once I noticed some curious rocks and closed in on them, the landscape/seascape planned shots were immediately forgotten.

Notes:
• Title devised by Library staff.
• Master of the "Impossible Possible," Houdini performs one of his stunning manacled jumps from Harvard Bridge, followed by an under-water escape in the Charles River. As with his upside-down straitjacket escapes, Houdini's jumps drew huge crowds and publicized his stage appearances. In 1908, he appeared in Boston for two weeks at Keith's theater, a major venue on the Keith Vaudeville Circuit.

view from the winding road over the little lake. sun is low but clouds hide the direct light.
Camera club had a magician in this week. He needed images for his portfolio and we got the chance to shoot something different.
I have had a play around in PS with this (he's not that good....haha) The picture in the frame is one of mine and the background is downloaded from Pexels. I taught myself a few things about PS with this little exercise too.
Not the finest composite you'll ever see but I'm proud of it :)
