There were mounds of these at intervals today. In addition to being visually interesting, they provide another, auditory treat: when the water recedes over them, there is a clatter of rattle-y noise as they bang into each other. So you hear the rush of the incoming wave, the pause, and then the staccato rapping of the stones. Pause. Next wave. Repeat…
I took this just after the sun had set — barely. The horizontal layers of rock, sea, and sky follow the Art 101 rules of composition. Nature is good at that!
Thanks, indeed, for the pause that refreshes. I can see it, hear it, and even feel it.
