I like this one and the photo used to bring a clarity to the work. Thanks for sharing both with us. I appreciate your visit to my page, Valsa. This has been a year with plentiful figs, but because of so much rain when they start to ripen, they taste fermented. I tried to eat some the other day, and they were not good. Sara K

Heedless sky...crystal water...and people in the far off distance, not to spoil anything. Very beautiful and tranquil! This in fact would make a lovely study for a watercolor. Joe.
