This week's Photohunt is ripples. There were several different ways to approach this theme, rippling muscles, ripple ice cream, rippling fabric but I decided to go with the obvious - rippling water.
This theme was fun. I looked over several albums of photos that I had not reviewed in a while and came across this picture of a color of the sunset reflecting off the ripples of a wave along with the shadow of a seagull. I took this picture just about a year ago on our yurt camping trip to Cape Disappointment State Park near the mouth of the Columbia River. We went down to the beach after dinner and watched the sun set into the ocean.

Gorgeous! Both shots. But I think your sunset goes beyond ripple right into wave.

Wow, your photos are stunning, Marta. The first one looks like the seagull is on a ripple of pure gold.
Happy weekend!

That first photo is just unbelieveably gorgeous. The light is fantastic. Then the second one isn't bad either. I love sunsets and sunrises, they reach a whole other level at the sea side.
I posted a few ripples too. http://healingmagichands.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/photohunter-ripples/

Beautiful shots - I almost went with a few pics of famous statues for the rippling muscles but went with typical Canadian ripples in the end.
Have a great weekend!

Cape Disappointment is such a great name - nothing disappointing about the photos you got there, they are awesome.
