Sanctuary

.                                    
                                           a crimson sunrise

                                   ocean cliff guards safe haven

                                       nature's storm warning

You have created quite a peaceful image of the "sanctuary," Mitch and I think you'll do well in the competition. Wishing you luck! Love, Carolyn

Mitch, I see the cliff guard (as in a football lineup) blocking the storm brewing on the dark side of the cliff from causing turbulence in the safe haven.

If it is for the contest good luck, if not it should be. I like this picture you painted in my mind . The funny thing I do not even have to look at the picture to see if it speaks like the pic...p.d.
