as if God has taken a hand in setting them up. It's said that there is no such thing as a (random) coincidence.

There's almost a look of abstract art about that photo. A kind of geometric simplicity about it.

It makes you want to hang up your camera and say, "Okay, I've done it now."

I guess that's why most of us keep on shooting. We haven't done it yet.

It reminded me of sunsets there. I saw it on SCE's thread, and thought then that this is art photography at its finest. Magnificent photo. Thanks for reposting it!

Saw that Sunday too, looked at it for while. That's one of those "dream shots" that you wonder if you'll ever get.
