Let's Hit the Beach - Skywatch Friday Post from Anzio, Italy

This shot was taken in Anzio, Italy in February 2009. I love the composition, the swirl of the beach and water and of course the gorgeous sky over the Mediterranean Sea. Do click to enlarge.

Be sure to take a peek at other SKYWATCH FRIDAY posts this week. This meme is hosted by: Klaus | Sandy | Ivar | Wren | Fishing Guy| Louise who do a fab job. We had over 330 participants in Sky Watch last week.

Lovely shot. Amazingly, I almost posted a similar one today, only mine was on Lake Ontario. It's the first time I've ever thought one of the Great Lakes might look a little like the Mediterranean! LOL

You have a way to make even a mossy concrete slab to glow in the sun.

Beautiful sky and beach! Was it warm enough there in February to swim?

Michele said...

This does look beautiful. The waves gently swishing over the rocks... how amazing is that foam that collects on the side... so pretty indeed!
