Actually Suz, the red light was on the dock I think or maybe on a boat out there. It was definitely part of the scene. :-)
Thanks lucy!
dreamy!
Oh my, Christine…that is beautiful! Makes me feel very lonesome for that beautiful spot, though. Was the red line part of nature or a reaction from the camera? Either way, it is sort of ethereal!
