A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

 
This photo was taken during the last night of my Mediterranean cruise while the ship was slowly sailing back to Civitavechia, the cruise ship port of Rome.  I stood in my stateroom balcony, camera hanging around my neck, while watching the sunset transform the sky into this vibrant canvas of rich colors creating dramatic silhouettes to this flock of birds soaring toward a group of islands in the far distance. I have never seen a sky this spectacular, made more beautiful by nature coming together as if staging a special portrait for me to capture.  Now I believe that it’s not just about being at the right place at the right time…it’s all about being chosen to capture that special moment. And during that one night somewhere in the Mediterranean, nature posed for me…and I didn’t hesitate to capture that beautiful moment for me to cherish and for all of you to eventually see.

  2. I have to ask – what ship where you on when you took the Greek & the above photos ?
    I was also on a similar cruise in 2015 – Island Princess – Venice to Barcelona

  5. Lovely! I think Nature is always “posing” for us; we just fail, repeatedly, to see the shot. 🙂 Glad you saw it here,
