Seas of Grass

Wind shapes these seas of grass 
near the water's edge

Unable to climb cliffs 
they ebb and flow here

Distant Horizon

Though dark and muted

   this winter palette brings unique hues 

to landscape and sky...

the distant horizon a place for 

quiet thought, reflection.

Rock at the End of Depot Lane

  We inherited an oil painting depicting the rock at the end of Depot Lane from my wife's grandmother years ago and today it hangs on our dining room wall.   During my years of blogging I've photographed this rock many times.  I find it a fascinating subject as it remains solid, seemingly unmovable, and immutable since it was dropped off here by the Wisconsin glacier some 21,000 years ago.  What does change is everything else... day, night, the seasons, the tide.  In the summer sun it is very warm to the touch and remains so into the night.  In the winter it is sometimes completely covered with a glaze of ice from salt water spray.  During a low, or neap tide, it can be high and dry as in the painting but when a high tide is in it can be pretty far into the water, with a depth difference of more than six feet.

Here from much further away I have a day time photo
 at a higher tide followed by an evening shot
at lower tide.

This same evening, August 14,  produced a nice late sunset over the Sound.

Here is a photo of the sky over a Depot Lane sod farm from the same evening.

See my "Coney Island" posting below for today's Sky watch Friday photos. The sky was very blue punctuated by clouds contrasting nicely with the colorful gaudiness of the amusement park. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The early morning sun casts long shadows while illuminating everything in it's path with a golden glow. Near perfect reflections appear on undisturbed water and I have a feeling of contented solitude.
