Reflections & sea mist
Reflections Palm Beach
With the big seas closing the beaches, and its being a public holiday, even though I went late to the beach, there were still a lot of people at the rockpool and I didn't feel comfortable with the thought of leaving my camera with my things as I swam. So I walked the beach instead.
Walking north and looking landwards against the sun, there was a shroud of sea mist, giving a wonderful light.
But coming back, I saw this reflection in the smooth water surface of a receding wave. Or more to the point, I didn't. I saw the wonderful smooth surface. Only when I had captured the image, did I see the reflections.
Is this innate or is it learnt, this failure to observe the intangible and the evanescent?
