Break in the clouds

Figure 1 – Break in the Clouds, July 26, 2021. (c) DE Wolf 2021.

Figure 1 is another image that I took near sunset in Rockport, MA on the 26th. I am calling this one break in the clouds as it concentrates on a distant bright spot of cloud over the water. I am trying for the effect of an impressionist seascape. The tones picked up here are all of the blues with a dash of magenta for spice, deep and meditative, Rayleigh scattering and reflections off the water. All of this speaks to a warm and atmospheric zenith of summer. You can become lost in these cloud patterns. You can set aside for a few moments the mounting troubles of the world. That bright spot near the sea I think adds additional mystery

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Rabindranath Tagore
