TGIF Sunset Cruise

TGIF!  We went on an open ocean sail after work today!  Captain's take: wind was 1-3 mph, 2-4 ft swell, 7 second intervals.  Basically, bobbing in the duldrums...

So, we headed back into the bay for some pictures in the "magic hour"!

Wondered about this boat from Las Vegas....???  Port of Call?  The Venetian?  Treasure Island?

Stopped in for Fish and Chips at the Local Hut!

I ordered a "Sex on the Beach".  Just so you know, this is out of my usual form--too much Red #5.  But, we are thinking that we have to come up with a drink called "Sex on the Boat".  The Captain says that it must stave off scurvy in order to be authentic. "Sex on the Beach" is Vodka based, but I wanted to come up with a Rum alternative.  But, isn't that a "Shipwreck"?  We don't want that!  Any suggestions?

The Magic Hours

Heather Angel, author of the book "How to Photograph Water", encourages me to photograph in the magic hour. This is the hour that light plays at sunset. The color is just right, and it is magic.

I drive to work during dawn and dusk.  These are the magic hours!  I used to drive to work in the dark and come home in the dark, but I'm enjoying the good life now! 

Daylight savings time might change all that!  Save the date: Spring Forward March 14th!

ps: yes, Timoteo, the last one is yours from July 2008!  Great pictures don't die!
