Description
Just south of Simon's Town on False Bay.I did an electronic version of a red filter to get the clouds looking nice - it was a rather flat grey morning by itself. The sepia tint was done the same way, but more subtly.
Mini-challenge - I'll do a journal feature for the first person who can actually spot the paddlers! I only noticed them well into processing!

I love this image so much. It's so peaceful and it feel so big. I love the distant misty mountains. It's amazing!

It is turning into one of my favourites too - there are so many little things to discover and notice.

Yup. It would be great on a wall. Then you could really see the details.

Lovely clearing of sky. nice work. Even knowing where the paddlers are I can't make them out.

They aren't big - it does require clicking to full size. I uploaded this at full resolution, in part because of this, and partly because this particular lens has lovely resolution, giving all 16 million pixels something to do.

Thankyou Steve - and to the extended Tryon clan.
I guess you guys weren't dozing on the porch after a cold lunch, but I hear you are having a warmer Christmas than normal?

Yes, rather. We are in Charleston, South Carolina this Christmas, where it is tee shirt weather.
