    This reminds me of the paintings by the English landscape artist J. M. W. Turner.

    Now that's one of the most beautiful skies I've seen in a long time...reminds me of the ceiling paintings at the Palais de Versailles! Just gorgeous!

    Re population growth: I don't know what happened...Stone Creek's been rather in the doldrums for a couple of years and now all of a sudden it's going crazy with new models and new construction everywhere. I think a lot of it has been due to Obama's "Stimulus" which included monies to home buyers...That's one of the reasons we sold our house and bought in Stone Creek - $6500 was a nice stimulus!

    Overall, though, Florida's population declined last year for the first time in many years.

    Maybe everyone's going to Toronto?

    A Turner perhaps, or a Constable? Very beautiful classic picture. Thank you for sharing it.

    Oh it does remind me vaguely of painting that I must have seen somewhere. You do have wonderful sunsets in your neck of the woods.

    I can see I really don't need to say it looks like a painting. :)
    But, it does!
    As far as by a master painter - THE master painter himself.
