golden water

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 22 July 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

A close up of the sunset reflecting in the shallow water at the edge of the Chesapeake Bay.

Thank the miracle-working God,
His love never quits.
The God whose skill formed the cosmos,
His love never quits.
The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations,
His love never quits.
The God who filled the skies with light,
His love never quits.
The sun to watch over the day,
His love never quits.
Moon and stars as guardians of the night,
His love never quits.
Psalm 136:4-9

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

These reflections you have been doing are excellent! The light, color, textures, and space are superb! It kind of reminds me of liquid gold!!! Just beautiful Chris!

@Craig: Thanks - I thought the same thing when I saw it - like liquid gold....

Fabulous shot Chris. Rich in light and texture. And I love this Psalm, in whatever translation it comes. The Message really brings it up to date. Our "miracle-working" God's steadfast love endures forever -- it never quits.

@Viewfinder: Thanks VF - I thought this psalm in the Message was a bit different, and I like thinking about Him and His love in different ways - it is neverending.....

Here I am, following VF again, so okay, let me see if I change my original thoughts so I'm not copying him! *smile*

I love the rich, misshapen golden coins of all sizes. The original photo was beautiful and each segment of it that you've shared since, bring new insights. The Psalm is wonderful ... it makes me think of the life beneath these pools of water ... God's creatures are blessed, no matter where they live.
"His love never quits."
