As 2010 winds down, I hope it was a good one for all of you and that 2011 is even better. If 2010 was a bad year, here’s hoping that 2011 is much better!

I would like to thank you all for visiting my blog this year. I appreciate your comments and feedback, whether left here on the blog or through other means. I hope you come back often in the new year.

As to the picture, it was taken from the deck of my cruise ship on my recent trip to the Caribbean. Not much in the way of foreground to make the shot interesting, but I did like the way the sun was lighting the clouds. It almost looks as if there is a cloud holding the sun. This image is actually a closer crop from the original. I used my longest lens at 300mm, but the sun was still too small to my liking. I cropped in closer and slightly darkened the exposure to get some more color and a better feeling of sunset light.

Happy New Year!
