My Good Friday

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 21 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Took my girls to the beach for the day. They had endless hours of fun, with the new bucket and spade (they manipulated dad into buying). The moment, the sky, the sea and mountain, all came together for this one. A day I will long remember.

Great capture, they grow up so quick, good to have photo's like this.
The clouds are amazing and of course Table Mountain will tell them exactly where this photo was taken when they are grown up!

A brilliant shot, Graham, made all the more poignant by its connection to the special day with the girls. Absolutely stunning! You're very fortunate to have sites (and beauty) like this to share with your daughters.

@MaryB: Thanks Mary. You're so right about the playground. Could have titled it God's playground.

This is absolutely stunning, Graham! The water looks so clear, the sky is a gorgeous blue, love the wispy clouds...this could be a postcard or in a travel magazine. What a way for you and your girls to remember a fun and special day. Brilliant job, Graham! :)

Stunning shot Graham. If you had tried to arrange the scenery yourself, it couldnt have been better! The sky is magnificent.

@Jaynee: Thanks Jaynee, yes everything was so perfect, it looks like it could have been photo-shopped in.

Lovely image, Graham, and the addition of your girls in the foreground adds depth and personalisation to the shot. Great work, as usual.
