Abstract 182

This abstract pattern is derived from the play of sunlight on waves.  The ’roundel’ format seemed appropriate  –  possibly subconsciously suggested by its porthole shape.  There will be two further images in this group.  Each has been given the ‘breathing space’ of a separate post.

Sunlight and the sea

The late afternoon sunlight played on the gently rippling waters beside the quay.  I was alone except for two small children at the far end of the quay, excitedly ‘crabbing’  under the watchful supervision of their grandparents.

No context is needed for this photo.  It was just a beautifully peaceful late afternoon.  If you listen carefully you can hear the gentle rippling of the waves and the shingle scurrying back to the sea.

At the Water’s Edge 4

One of the joys of a pebble beach is the sound of the shingle rushing back into the sea as each wave recedes.  The effect is strangely both powerful and soothing  –  almost hypnotic.
