Wave within rocks, Flounder Bay

Home to many small lives

At the south end of the beach I looked down to see the edge of a wave rushing between the boulders, beneath my feet.

  3. There's something wonderful happening here. The light isn't quite right (for me). Back in art school, we talked about "the red spot." It's the visual cornerstone of a paining. Sometimes literally a red dot that somehow finished the piece, activated the whole thing. Brought it to life.

    Know what I mean?

  4. Michael, I think I know what you mean, and I agree. The shapes and contrasting textures appeal to me, but somehow those aren't quite enough. I hadn't heard of the "red spot", though. Thanks for the feedback :^)

  6. We're over there briefly (overnight) in a few days' time; if the tides are right, I might be able to find that extra something. Cheers Michael.
