On this coast, I'm more used to the sun setting into the ocean than rising up out of it. Some persistent ignorance in me still expects lots of steam to accompany both novelties. Stunning and calming photo, Teresa.
On my Central Coast (California), we're blessed with the sun coming up over salt water and falling at the end of the day into salt water. We're doubly blessed.
Beautiful photograph! Music to sooth the soul. My favorite to listen to is music like this...but I would have left out the voices at the end--LOL! Happy Wednesday. :)
One of my favorite Spanish words is la madrugada -- that time after midnight and before dawn. It's prelude, indeed, but also its own time, filled with echos and sighs, and filled with reassurance. Your photo captures that beautifully.
Long before humans, birds, redwoods. or ferns there was algae. It filled the oceans, so much so that the sea was green. Eventually they released millions and millions of metric tons of algae into the atmosphere that mixed with carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Eventually the atmosphere exchange allowed for life in terrestrial areas and our oceans turned blue. All a prelude to the blue planet!
Beautiful photo, Teresa! Where was it taken?

ReplyDeleteThank you, Geo. I, too, still have some notions that come from "persistent ignorance." :)

ReplyDeleteI love those predawn hours ... I seem most open to new ideas then and the creativity that arises from it. Thank you, Linda.
DeleteSo often that's the most memorable part of the day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would imagine you see plenty of very early mornings ... that anticipation of a new hike into such splendor. :)
