Peggy, thank you for posting this spectacular photograph.

I hope you don't mind that I made it my new desktop background image.

I like that glow too. I may have even encouraged it!

Digital photography is so much fun!

over the Pacific Ocean at Lincoln City, Oregon at sunset.

Got some pics with the cellphone, but nothing like what you have captured. I'm going to show her your pic. Nicely done

I'm afraid cell phone cameras are just not up to this sort of photo. Maybe someday!

I love my Olympus camera and lens.

Feel free to take the file! Happy to share it. My name is on the copyright.
