Challenge #117 in the Capture The Moment series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Did you capture a good quality photo this week, but there's no current and appropriate challenge to display it? Here is your opportunity to show it to us. Please remember that this is a family-friendly site, and enter photos appropriate for everyone to view. Make sure your entry is 1,600px MAXIMUM on its longer side. DPR does NOT resize your photos for you. You need to do this yourself BEFORE you enter a challenge. Entrants with oversize photos will not be invited to re-submit them. Get the size right the first time!

I see a giant dark, ominous finger, ozziebadger, and it is pointing directly to glitzy Surfers Paradise, further north on the gold Coast. Is this a portent of things to come?? Probably not. This is a very striking landscape, with the dark rocks in the foreground, the smooth seas at low tide, and the wonderful colours of the sunset. A very worthy first place in 'My Best Photo of the Week' challenge.
