Secret Of The Sea

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea?
Of these high rolling waves along the shore?
The footprints of the lovers that come here to love
By the tides washed away forever more

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug
And the secret of grass and of the trees
And if you can tell the secret of a warm friends hand
Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

Hi Paolo.

Wonderful sunset with very strange yellow as sunsets go, but I like it. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Paolo,
An outstanding and romantic view of this tropical paradise. Your scan was most successful. The gradations of hue in the sky are
amazing and the reflections enhance. Well captured, Paolo.

Hi Paolo,

beautiful colors and again your style of composing. The scan this time worked pretty well in the bright areas but a bit of sharpness was lost in the dark patches in the bottom.

Kia Orana Paolo,
Did you post that one to move the mood up before the week end ?
Nice paradise photo, the orange coloring of the cloud and its contrast with the sky blue is spectacular !
Buona fine di settimana,

Hi Paolo,
The ever changing sky is always so fascinating but catching those moments make it lives forever and you have just done that. I really enjoyed the colours and the surprises that it sprung on us. The silhouette trees helped to anchor this composition comfortably. Congratulations!!ALl the best.
