For my Sarah
This shot is dedicated to my beautiful little girl Sarah who passed away 1 year ago today. This was shot last night at the lake. She loved the clouds and sunsets. This is for you Sarah, We miss you.

Klaus - I remember seeing your original post on FM.com a year ago when you lost Sarah, my heart broke for you. I'd say this beautiful image is a very fitting tribute.
