Hot! In Fairy Tale

March 06, Grand Cayman. The whole day had alternated between violent rainstorms and sunny periods - sometimes both at the same time. Around sunset, the light went completely nuts. I've never seen anything like it before or since.

A BIG thank you to all those of you who are re-voting, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm sure votes will only count once.

    Thank you all! Claudia, you've hit the nail on the head - being on another planet is exactly what it felt like. It was actually pretty overwhelming - I was running around on the beach like a chicken with its head cut off, not knowing where to point my camera first and thinking all the while "this can't last". Which of course it didn't. Dan, unfortunately no vacation - these were taken in March 06.

    I'm very sorry to have missed this great shot, but I can recover fort that missing! The first thing I thought watching at this picture is that "we are never alone" in good or bad times and at the same time that we cannot "manipulate" the nature, her power and her beauty even when there's a storm. Thanks for sharing
