You have captured the scene perfectly. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m flattered my photo may have contributed to your work. But your Sumi \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Peace at Jug Handle Beach\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that I have in my office downstairs was the inspiration for the photo. I had admired that painting for several years and out of pure luck was driving from Albion to Fort Bragg one November day and the fog suddenly cut the gap and I pulled over into the parking lot and rushed down the steps to the beach. At moments like that we know the sun is there in a pewter sky but we can wait for it and enjoy what the fog brings, Peace at Jug Handle Beach&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His writing is so smooth and charming.
