Seagulls In Sepia

She just found a fish-head that a fisherman had discarded. Indeed a delicious meal on a great day.

A RING OF REFLECTION

This is the most mystical and spiritual photo I have taken last year. And it is for many friends the most loved one of 2009. 

It is special and I see this photo as a gift that I was allowed to have to remind me of that moment.

I took this picture while I was on a holiday at the wild-coast on a walk along the beach during low tide when all the rock formations where exposed.

The small rock-pool shaped by the flowing water contained tiny shell pieces. 

What attracted me was the darker ring outside the rock-pool in the stone. This is not moisture. The stone has a darker color and the shape of the circle perfectly complements the nature of the rock-pool.

Only later when I was bending over to take the photo from above did I see the two amazing rings of light reflection in the water that were in perfect symmetry to each other and everything around them.

How can I be talking so much about a hole in a stone?

Cause it was a moment of enchantment.

And staying enchanted is one of the most important things for me in life.

If the elements come together with shape and structure and light it is magic. And then you have art.

IS THERE COLOR IN THE SEA ?

I was asked by my friend who lives in the Sahara and who has never seen the sea: IS THERE COLOR IN THE SEA ?

You can not know how much I loved his question because I had so much to say to him.

There is not only color but there are pink spaghettis in the sea.

There is a beautiful dead pale crab not anymore in the sea.

There is structure and delicacy in the sea.

What is inside the sea reflects it's color to the outside.

The sea is made from a painters palette.

My perfect, green shimmering, shining wave comes from the sea.

There is change and movement in the sea.

There is sculpture in the sea.

There is an indescribable abundance of good things of all colors in the sea.

 Through the sea you can understand the spirit of water and the way it moves.

 There is shape and light and reflection in the sea helping yourself getting a clearer picture of yourself.

In clear water the mermaid's golden hair flows.

And there is art in the sea.

SO MUCH, MY FRIEND SAID. AND WHAT IS A MERMAID?
