Rob? You OK? Long time no post. Miss you, and hope the “C” hasn’t got you and you’re not dreaming!

Cool picture. I also checked out the pics of the Hebrides - pretty, but I prefer the Florida beaches with sparkling white sand and warm blue water!

Hi Rob,

This looks very Sci Fi! I can almost imagine it being a scene from a Ray Bradbury book. Excellent and different as always.

WOW. Very Magritte! Got any good links for pics of the beaches you mentioned? I saw an ‘Escape to the Country’ episode where people were moving from like Manchester to the outer Hebrides - and I remember thinking - THAT’S MY KIND OF PLACE! Desolate, beautiful, rugged, unspoiled - and best of all cold! (Sometimes I wonder what the hell I’m doing living in friggin Africa!).

You’re right about the beaches, wrong about the rain. More hours of sunshine on Hebridean islands than anywhere on the mainland. It’s just that when it rains, it can be ferocious!

There’s some pictures of beaches of the Outer Hebrides on my blog.

I like this a lot…the figures are very nicely done, and I love the use of silhouette! Nice job. =)

Very cool-love the lonely blue image, and the lone beachcomber. The rain doesn’t make for beach parties, but a kind beauty replaces that easily enough. Strong, beautiful piece, fine digital work!
