Hello friends in TL.

The shot was taken in Tanjung Bungah beach in Penang. The surfer was about to leave the water after a few failed attemps on the gentle waves. Thanks for viewing.


Footprints in the Sand - The Poem

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

1963 by Carolyn Joyce Carty

Selamat Pagi, dear Jusni.
Splendid picture with the silhouet of the returning surfer.
The sunset and the composition of the high raised buildings make it an teriffic looking photo.
Very well captured. Viva Penang.!
Have a nice day,
Jan

Bonjour,
Belle atmosphère de fin de journée.
Bonne journée.

Very nice. Good balance of composition, lovely capture of colours and good sharp detail. I couldn't resist a chuckle - it may just be coincidence but the hung head of the surfer is so comical, he really looks dejected - but on such incredibly calm water, is it any surprise!

wow the beach is so near to the city. stunning sunset, like the blue and orange here. i like that foot print... tfs Jusni

Hi Jusni,

This is a very beautiful photo. Although in regards to the photo title, I think the surfer is more of the main subject than the footprints because it is more eyecatching in the photo.

Colours are very beautiful with a very pleasant change of hue in the sky. I almost thought this photo is HDR or is it? LOL..

TFS.

Regards,
Alvin

Hello my friend
This is a paradisiac scenery illuminated of vivid and colourful backlight that creates an appealing allover mood!
Most admirable are the perfectly-vertical silhouettes of towers, judiciously located on a sweet spot.
Fine-art tableau!
Cheers.
Robert

Hi Jusni,
Breath taking cloud formation with so many colours. Very nice composition with the buildings on the side and the foot prints running adjacent to the waves. Love the relfection of the colours in the water too.
