The waters are calm and shallow, revealing the colorful-moss-covered stones scattered across the tidal flats. The sunlight glints off the surface, where soft golden glints mirror the foamy waves in the distance while dancing between the darker patches of seaweed and algae.
Each of the rocks tell a different story; some worn smooth, some rough and jagged, but all coated in marine life, a luscious vibrant green moss that implies a richer life in this tidal region. The waves softly crash in the distance and their foamy tips creep toward the shore in a steady rhythm. The still water in the foreground looks like glass, reflecting the delicate textures beneath—rounded pebbles, flowing strands of algae, and tiny bubbles floating unobtrusively, as if like ideas on the water’s surface.
The composition takes your eye away from the detailed foreground and eventually overlooks the far off foaming surf below, creating depth and balance to the image. The earth brown of the rocks, the lively greens of the moss and the silvery blue of the ocean is a celestial palette that connects all the elements together in a down to earth way. It feels like a place lost in time; a place where nature took a second to pause, if not for a breath, to create space for the viewer; to respect and to provoke thoughts toward the quiet strengths of the sea.
