The theme this week for the WordPress Photo Challenge is to show somewhere that makes us happy. Here’s my second submission. So many places make me happy, especially so if I have my camera with me, so I can recall them at a later time. I love what nature puts on for us, sometimes around man made structures, but sometimes by itself. This selection of photos exemplifies why I enjoy photography so much — I get to witness amazing sights and they all make me happy.

Do You See What I See?? 
Wonderful pictures Kim, such beautiful skies, skilfully captured. I especially like the shoreline just catching the edge of the gentle wave, definitely a Happy Place!

Thanks Katie. Yes, I think of the photos, the one you commented on was my favourite. I lived on an island for a couple of years, and this was taken across from my apartment. So lucky to have enjoyed such a beautiful experience.

Thanks very much — I read that you’ve been to Australia a few times, so you’d be used to seeing these skies. Maybe not so many of them in your part of the world though I guess.

Yes I’ve been twice in the past few years. Can’t get enough! Skies are different. That is a part of their charm I think. Great sunsets here in the UK!

This evokes such calm. I love the curling wave in the foreground catching the fading light.

That sunset shot was amazing — I was driving home from work and was so keen to get to the water’s edge before the sun went down. Luckily, at that point of my life, I lived in an apartment across from the water’s edge. 🙂

So your pics aren’t necessarily new, just some from your collection? They are fabulous regardless, I was just curious.

Thanks Debbie! I have so many photos like these; it was very hard to restrict the number to a manageable post. Glad you enjoyed them. 🙂

Fantastic shots Kim ~ the colors and the beach of the first two photos…whether they are dawn or dusk, is just perfect place to be.

The first is sunset, the second sunrise. Both from the island I once lived on (Bribie Island), which is a small island connected to the Aussie mainland by a bridge. Beautiful location, and thankfully only just over an hour’s drive from Brisbane where I live now. Thanks for commenting.

That is awesome ~ I liked the 2nd shot for the waves coming in with the light, it seemed like a dawn shot.
