Shadows & Light

Newport Beach, CA

The family had boat rental reservations on Saturday. So out we went even though the front of the arctic storm had just passed and the forecast for the day was cold temperatures with chance of thunderstorms and snow in the higher elevations. Expecting to "freeze" on this boat ride, we were fortunate to get boat with plastic around all sides except the back. This kept us comfortable and I was able to unzip a portion to be able to take photos.

It turned out to be a lovely outing. Towards the end of the trip the cloud cover was building up providing this opportunity to capture an image for the Shadows & Light challenge.

[It is okay to laugh out loud at our idea of "freezing".]

The sun reflecting on the Laser's sail shows up well against the house in the shadows.

Love how the waves emit the light and the shadow! And also in the clouds. Nice work!!!

Very nice perspective and lighting. You are right this weekend was freezing, at least for us.
