| Rediscovery | June 13, 2012 @ 9:49pm | While my mind has been elsewhere, and I have been all but absent from TME, I wish to share with you.
I hope you can enjoy the peaceful beauty as much as I did while photographing it.
Enjoy.
PPY-definitely!

| June 14, 2012 @ 2:21am | I find a sunset on any beach to be soothing.
This shot if full of doublets and triplets, symmetric and non. The two towers of the bridge (which echo with the three in the distance); the foreground horizontal lines (old manmade structures covered in sea life?) which themselves come in pairs - a pair in the light, and a pair in the shadows (and a series of three at water's edge); the mirroring between the clouds and the waves; the reflections of the sun (two main, with a third in the water just under the bridge); the three arcs of the leading wave, pairing with the three sections of advancing clouds.
There is a neat balance of static, grounding elements (bridge, old foreground pieces), combined with flow and a great sense of motion in multiple directions, both organic and rigid - advancing clouds, advancing waves, and curving beachline; implied setting of the sun, with the literal vertical line of its reflections.
While not necessarily dramatic, the colors are indeed soothing and inviting. I get a lot of echoes, and can spend a great deal of time exploring this image.
Well done! And thanks for sharing!

| June 14, 2012 @ 8:15am | I'll have to bow to Chance's better eyesight and therefore to his analysis. I can't see some of the details he sees.
But I do get an over-all sense of peace. However, with that huge bridge in the distance, I'll bet that some of the hum of traffic does reach this place.

Hi Flo, Greg, and everyone. My name is Chance, and I'm a female.
No big deal, happens all the time.
Thanks.
