Photo Challenge: Dramatic*

When I think of dramatic photos I have taken, vivid skies and sunsets come to mind. And what better place to find them than on Perry’s Point?

Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too.

Sunset on Perry’s Point

The sky broke like an egg into full sunset, and the water caught fire.
— Pamela Hansford Johnson

Here’s a favourite of mine from Newtown branch:

Long before evening sets on the Point, the sun is often brilliant, dancing on the surface of the waves:

Lots of beauty elsewhere, of course. I captured this curtain of a cloud on a tropical holiday:

Another favourite. This time from Bonavista NL, with the sea and sky together:

We might not have the greatest weather in Newfoundland, but we do have some of the loveliest views.

I can’t seem to get enough of our local brand of vitamin Sea.

I have a treasure trove of pics from our visit to the town of Bonavista.
This one is perfect for the theme of half sea and half sky.

Of course, this post would not be complete without a view from our own backyard.

Do you find the sea and sky as naturally therapeutic as I do?
