Out for the Evening

After dinner last night, Marcelle and I took a stroll on Wick Beach, taking advantage of the long, oblique evening sun. The beautiful side-lighting this time of day creates, as well as the golden colours, a product of the sun's rays filtering through a thicker portion of the atmosphere which filters out more of the blue, yields a perfect time for taking pictures. (All images by iPhone again today.)

The long shadows create a sculpted look that makes the sand look as if you are flying over a miniature desert of dunes.

 

 

We wandered past the visitor centre toward the rocks, checking the waters edge for anything interesting. I spotted a few small jellies, glistening in their transparency, their internal ribbing just barely visible.

 

Upon the rocks, a face suddenly took shape, made up of barnacles and anenomes.

 

Clambering up on one of the large rocks, we sat and watched the sun sinking toward the water, its rays washing over the rocky outcrops in front of us.

 

What better way to spend an evening?
