SUPERBE *************

Grandiose... D'une grande fascination.

Great light and presentation !

love how the sky and ocean become one in the upper left corner. great light and composition to this, it's beautiful.

Thanks, Laura. I actually wanted a seamless sky and sea right across the top but couldn't quite get that and retain foreground definition too.

Magnificent capture!

Great shot, Andy, love the lighting.

c'est beau

A beautiful contre-jour image.

C'eut été dommage que tu "résistes" tant ce contre-jour est superbe, Andy ***

He sure has a big nose ...

What a great mood ! And wonderful light ! Good Morning, Andy !

A lovely silver / pewter quality here. Andy. I love the ripples on the sea, and of course the General. Who hold his bath towel? ;-)

That I wouldn´t know Amelia but I do know this story, thanks to Roy Jenkins' excellent biography of Churchill. Apparently Churchill had to fit his bath into his morning routine come what may and that sometimes meant fitting meetings into his busy wartime schedule at such a time. General de Gaulle insisted on an urgent meeting one morning and had to be content with watching Churchill have his bath while relaying his point of extreme national (Free French) import. The General's first reaction was to reach for Churchill's bath robe to wrap around him, assuming he would be getting out of his bath to have the meeting.
Not a bit of it.
Viewing the General's obvious discomfort, Churchill said, "The prime minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the leader of the Free French!"

Love the story ... one I had not heard !

I'd heard it as with Roosevelt!

I think it's one of those apocryphal stories that can be adjusted to suit whoever!

You will get wizened, General! ;))

Hi antje,
Just read your comment more carefully; '...wizened'. What a rare but thoroughly excellent old English word. I must start using it Thank you for reminding me of it!

Beautiful light here Andy.

Such views to me, as an inlander and mountaineer, always are impressive!
Great shot!

Thank you, Sylvie!

It's really the General's profile on sea indeed !

It is indeed. I think even his kepi has fallen off back into the sea and is slowly sinking!

All right ! friendly from M-F

Thank you, Mariano and welcome!

Oooh, Andy, that's a glorious shot! I almost want to squint into the reflection.

Many thanks, Diane. You can wear your Ray Banns if you like!

Thank you, Sami!
