Serenity

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 12 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

For me, image-making is intuitive and meditative. I may spend an hour waiting for the moment when the light transforms the ordinary into something mystical, surreal and poetic. -- Richard Martin

Simply exquisite, Suzanne. What more could I want, other than this view, a glass of Chardonnay and the lady I love at my side to enjoy it with me.

Very well done. This will sound odd, but when I die I want it to be some place like this instead of an anonymous hospital bed or whatever.
