"Ohhhh: Beauty": Occasional Beauty by Randyohhhh
I've renamed this blog simply "Ohhhh: Beauty." I took out the word "daily" because I'm going to stop posting daily. I would make the effort if anyone were reading it, but there are very few of you, so I'll just post whenever I find something especially beautiful that I'd like to share.

Fishermen at Sunset by Eyal
Another from Earthshots. Eyal Zarrad (photo-clicks.com) writes "It was such a magnificent sunset with great colors in the sky, reflections in the pools and a calm see. Must have been lucky to witness and shoot it. Slow shutter speed allowed me to flatten the sea."

No (Wo)man Is an Island, by Mary Ann Reilly
Mary Ann Reilly in JPG magazine again.
She quotes John Donne:
'No Man is an Island'
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Watched, by Mary Ann Reilly
This is also from JPG magazine, and also by Mary Ann Reilly, whose "Pond" I ran on Saturday.
I've decided to devote the next week or so to her photographs, many of which I find exquisitely beautiful. Mary Ann Reilly is an Associate Professor of Education at Manhattanville College. She has her own web site ("Mary Ann Reilly -- Fine Art Photography") which is very well done and which displays a lot of her work. She can also be found at JPG magazine, where her work is very popular. Her work can be purchased through redbubble.
Mary Ann Reilly describes herself as "keenly interested in light and shadow." On RedBubble, she mentions altered landscapes. It looks to me like a lot of the work is altered, and that she is more a master of the emerging medium of digital imaging than a photographer.

Maui Rock Garden, by Gerry Pacher
Yet another from Earthshots. Gerry Pacher writes:
Maui has two faces. On the one hand there are the wonderful beach houses with all the nice places but on the other hand also the pure nature. Ka’anae is one place which is definitely worth to visit. The lava rocks are amazing and the shoreline is very unique. I captured this scene before sunrise.He has a blog at gerrypacher.ch.
