Taken during a few days trip that me and my girlfriend Hrund (http://www.flickr.com/photos/_rainbowgirl/) took around Paris few days ago
I got this shot on the ferry ride back from Cozumel after a day of diving. Sure, I took some OK shots underwater, but this one is my favorite. Seeing the sun bursting through the clouds with the ships on the horizon was a great way to end the day.
Sunrays do little to warm the air, but look beautiful reflecting off the ice and what remains of the liquid water. Taken February 6, 2013.

Every day you must arise and say to your heart, I have been through enough and now I must live because the light of the sun must not be wasted, it must not be lost without an eye to appreciate it.

Taken in the grounds of the Geffrye Museum
The museum is sited in the former almshouses of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers; these were established from the will of Sir Robert Geffrye (1613–1703). Geffrye (or Geffery) was an East India merchant, knighted in 1673, who was also Master of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, a Sheriff of London in 1674 and Lord Mayor of the city in 1685.
The 14 almshouses were for the widows of ironmongers. In 1911 the houses were sold to London County Council, and reopened as a museum in 1914 focusing on furniture.
Knockando railway station served the village of Knockando, Moray, Scotland, from 1899 to 1965 on the Strathspey Railway.
The station opened as Dalbeallie on 1 July 1899 by the Great North of Scotland Railway. To the north was a goods yard, to the west was Tamdhu Distillery and on the eastbound platforms were the station building and the signal box. The station's name was changed to Knockando on 1 May 1905 to avoid confusion with Dalbeattie.
It closed on 18 October 1965
