Ditto! The texture of the water, the composition, color...all wonderful! Dan you outdo yourself each time.
I wonder if the colors have anything to do with the time of the year. Out here in Ventura, we also have great color in the sunsets over the Pacific, and better at this time of year.
One thing you might find curious, when we look out at the ocean from Ventura to Santa Barbara, it looks more like a lake because we can see the other side. Not really. We see the Channel Islands and they "look" like the other side. Lake Superior, on the other hand, looks more like an ocean because you can't see the other side! My mother who was a true Yooper used to always call the ocean "the lake" when she came out to visit.
