Whispering Waves

This long exposure photograph captures the ethereal feeling of walking along a beach at night. The soft blurring of the breaking waves evokes a dynamic feeling of both softness and peacefulness. The emptiness of the horizon and the expansiveness of the ocean further reinforce these feelings. The silhouette of the grass along the edge of the sand marks the transition from land to sea while the low hanging clouds mark the change from sea to sky. The last light of the day peaks out through the top of the cloud bank, creating a sense of nostalgia for the end of another long summer day.
