I took this photo a few days ago..We were at an outdoor cafe setting.Across the street is a park and the bay.Alan was commenting on how blue the sky was and all the greens in the palm trees..I shot this photo as the park was refelected in his sunglasses..Alan sees so much..Always looking at how the light is on colors,or the design of things..It is fascinating to watch how he sees these things.A truly gifted artist..I turned the photo into black and white to get the full effect of the glasses..Congrats also Alan on image of the day!

Great photo, Vicki. It's good to know the story behind it which gives the feeling of being inside Alan's mind and, in the reflection, seeing what he sees. That smile says things are more colorful than ever.thea walstra 14 Apr 2006

With eyes of appreciation and love of the creator life and truth become living color as the highest art! Excellent work, splendid focus and thought. One of the most esteemed honors one gives to God is to revel in the beauty that he so freely gave to us...There is the light of grace and the heavens in this. Amazing work.
