The infamous ship alone at sea analogy carries well into this, which is only strengthened by the fact that this is a religious sanctuary. Very, very nice. I'm quite fond of this, for a whole score of reasons. Frankly, I'm disappointed at the placing for this, but such is life. Nothing critical to say, really.

I also consider this a rare find. The chaos in the rocks/grassland, the calmness of the sea, the blackness in the water, the bright white house, Inhospitable mountain, cozy house. Thank you.

Ok...you did what I had thought of doing. Forget running around, trying to find a pretty, minimal natural landscape to shoot....CREATE ONE! Love it for that reason! :)
