No dolphins, just a cloud
I went to the beach just before lunch today and the first thing I noticed was a pod of dolphins swimming from the middle of the beach southward, just behind the line of breakers.
Near the back of the beach (I mean where the vegetation begins) I stood on a sandhill a bit more than a metre high, to get the best vantage point I could in this relatively flat environment.
Just then about eight dolphins surfed a wave. Behind them, the island on the horizon. Behind the island, a massive bank of thick, white, billowing cumulus clouds. The sun was over my left shoulder. All was perfect. I clicked, the camera worked and I was pretty excited.
Unfortunately, my camera (as much as I think it's briliant) on long distance shots takes a long time with the shutter, and is not great with zoom shots, so all I got was a nice scenic shot of the beach. :: sigh ::
Oh well, here's the cloud from last evening. Better than nothing I guess.
