Figure 1 – Reflections of the “When and if” under the ferry pier, August 10, 2020, Salem, MA. (c) DE Wolf 2020.

It’s been a while since I posted a purely abstract photograph. Today’s image, Figure 1, shows the reflections under the pier, where Patton’s “When and If” is docked. I was struck particularly by the brown distortions which are the reflections of the masts. Technically these distortions are colored caustic bands, which we have spoken about before. In a sense this photograph, like others, that I’ve taken recently screens of the dog days of summer, when the sky is bright, the skies are blue, and the air is hot!
