Super capture ; very dynamic and showing the great amount of energy in the air at the moment. Nice sky, nice colors and good focus under conditions. I hope you made it through alright.

    Thank you so much for your generous review. Yes, we made it through. Ike never touched us directly. These 35mph was the most we got from the winds. Not more then some broken branches. The Storm surge toke a bike out of our beach and sadly destroyed many turtle nests but in relation to the pass of destruction the hurricane left we were very lucky. Thanks for asking.

You can almost feel the winds with this photo. Great golden color from the sun on the beach and trees. The sky is almost glowing. Really good journalism. Nice photo.

    Thank you very much. Yes I was stable on my feet. It was only 35 mph [about 60km]. I have to admit that I toke advantage of the circumstances. These palm trees are not newly blown over but grow that way. They survived several storms. The the are always in the wind.
    Thanks for your good wishes. :)
