Hello Zeev!

I would LOVE to be here! (is the water warm?) This is just beautiful. And the color of that water is so nice and inviting. All the rock

It was good to hear from you, in different color tones...gorgeous!!!

And the foreground of this image is just perfect. Brings you right into the whole scene.

This is truly spectacular! This one has to win an award!!

EXCELLENT three times over!

Lori :)
