A hidden, almost otherworldly tide-pool area, where the land and sea meet and exist in relative peace. The area is dominated by numerous ragged rocks that are generously populated with a variety of green mosses and seaweed to give the impression of a natural, underwater garden being revealed as the tide recedes. The rocks are mostly placed randomly and are punctuated with small pools of still, glassy water, reflecting the sky above which is muted either by morning or afternoon clouds.
In the distance, gentle waves crash softly, and white froth contrasts with deeper blue hues of the sea. The horizon looks calm yet strong as you imagine a darker ridge of land which is presumably craggy and undeveloped. The soft silver light gives a sense of muted time, be it early morning or late afternoon, but no matter, the whole image gives an inner stillness.
Each mossy stone displays its own shape, some round and plush like a lounging velvet cushion, and others raw and jagged with the echoes of time and tide. The water is crystal clear and allows you to see the pebbles and the marine life below the surface, which almost suggests the abundance of life in the coastal environment.
This image epitomizes the peace of nature, the beauty of it all happening so slowly, yet relentless—where erosion is considered art, and the sea can gently make a masterpiece from emerald and stone.
