“somewhere, over the rainbow” great version by “Izzy”.
Mahalo Albert!
So beautiful- Looks like a painting .
Nice photo, what a thick band of colors going up! Looks cold, though, with that person in a coat and the choppy dark ocean.
It’s warmed up here today. Brilliant sunshine pouring through the window and was 12’F at 11am this morning. Last night at 8pm (the last time I went outside) it was 5’F. Yesterday morning it was -4’F. My house when I woke up was a chill but comfortable 52’F…
And I used to wear coats checking the surf at the Pier or standing on the Cliffs! Sheesh, I was such a wussie! I guess it’s all a matter of what one gets used to, eh? Happy New Year (I hope!).
