Sunset at the Pamlico Sound

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. ~ George Bernard Shaw

I'm really enjoying exploring my creativity with the Lensbaby and Helios lenses.  Both lenses are entirely manual focus, forcing me to practice technique as well.  It's always interesting to try to decide where you want focus to fall on a creative photograph.  This sunset at Canadian Hole on the Pamlico Sound of Hatteras Island was like a delicate piece of lace.  As bits of clouds, clearing from the day's storms peeled away from the sunset, the sun added a beautiful pink hue to the sky.

Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. ~ Unknown
