The lack of sentimentalism was exactly what made the voice sound so original and chilling.<br /><br />ACIL, it’s technically difficult to capture a sunrise. I have a DSLR camera and was using a slow shutter speed. The windowsill served as a tripod. I took a lot of images and only shared the best ones. I’m looking forward to your Wales post.<br /><br />Booksnyc, books are a great way to travel.<br /><br />Donna, I like Nantucket better than the Vinyard and the Cape because it’s farther out to sea and you can go everywhere on a bike. The beaches and restaurants couldn’t be better.<br /><br />Jacoba, I’m impressed that you can comment so well in a second language and I enjoy your feedback. It’s nice to learn that you’re a regular visitor whether you comment or not. Yes, watercolors are tricky. My Nantucket paintings usually sell pretty quickly, but I have held onto other paintings for our home.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-38613668898779792652010-09-11T04:21:26.639-04:002010-09-11T04:21:26.639-04:00Our fascination for sunrise and sundown somehow al...Our fascination for sunrise and sundown somehow always urges us to take pictures.

But no, my results were so, so pitiful, that I decided not to include them in my forthcoming post on Wales. Looking at your pictures has a mesmerising effect.
