Why is it that when you have an actual appointment (with a time, rather than a vague 'see you tomorrow morning') you see a scene before you that is so unusual and beautiful that it forces you to stop? I hate being late, but with such moments, you just have to pull over and pick up the camera (I was so glad I had it with me). This was such a scene. I hadn't time to compose it carefully, nor to deliberate as to the best vantage point. I was on a road, traffic was passing us and this severely restricted me. I took 2 photographs and then had to get back into the car and carry on. The fingers of light were reaching down through the clouds towards the hills that were shrouded in mist. The Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.

Thanks a lot for checking in, +Christina Lihani – I know, but isn't it often the way with these kind of serendipitous moments? And I am also glad I was able to stop.
Thank you +Brant T – I'm glad you like it.
Wow…such a good capture!
This is so magical +Ellie Kennard! I'm sorry you didn't have time to just stay there and take all the photos you wanted to take. I am glad though that you stopped to get this!
OH MY! I don't pay attention to my views much. Dropping 600,000 is a loss of a lot of looking. +David D 🙁 Not good.
G+ seems to be rolling back to problems again! I do watch my views and noticed that they dropped by 600,000 views yesterday morning…
Oh my +David D – and it had disappeared from my profile, too, so maybe it was your (latest) plus that restored it?
I know that they are working on issues, but nothing much seems to change.
Apparently G+ is still not doing well… I just plus'd this for the third time today!
Jasbir, thank you very much, my friend +Jasbir S. Randhawa
+Sarah Simpson – thank you so much for that lovely comment. If I had been driving I might not have pulled over. As it was Steven and he offered… well I got it. I know what you mean. It can be stressful when driving, especially if I am concerned about disrupting the traffic.
That was exactly what I thought, +Lynn David Newton! Thank you 😀
Thanks a lot, +Shelly Gunderson
Thank you very much, Bill. +William McLean
+HQSP Landscape +David D – thank you very much and thanks also for the reshare.

Thanks a lot, my dear +Sofie Løve Forsberg

+Margaret Tompkins – thank you very much and it is my pleasure, Margaret.
Thanks so much for stopping by yourself, +Ursula Klepper – I am so glad to share it with you, my friend. xo

Thanks a lot. Gina. +Gina Beck – like my friend Linda told me 'you always have your camera with you'. 🙂 It pays off sometimes.
Thanks a lot, Eric, +Sunny Wu
Sumit, thanks very much .
+Philip Daly thank you very much.
Amazing +Ellie Kennard!! The photograph is stunning, I'm in awe of your ability to stop. I often find myself in that exact situation but I haven't the resolve to pull over. I don't know what it is that prevents me, but it's something I alway kick myself for later!
Lovely sky,looks like the moon instead of the sun
