There are two places in the world I am drawn to. In some sense they are complete opposites but really they are all just aspects of our amazing planet.

One is, obviously enough, the ocean. The other, and sadly I have not spent enough time in them , the mountains.

Many times I peer out to the clouds on the horizon and image tall beautiful capped mountainous or fiery volcanic lava flows.

This time a pelican all alone against the sunset is as gorgeous as it gets.
