Where the Tide Reveals the Land

At low tide, the coastline becomes another landscape.
Rocky platforms emerge from beneath the Atlantic, pools of water catch the changing sky, and long lines of waves continue their journey towards shore. For a few hours, the sea steps back and reveals a world usually hidden beneath it.

É o fato de as poças capturarem o céu que me fascina. Passei anos fotografando superfícies reflexivas, principalmente contas de vidro e lâmpadas Edison, e há algo no fato de a água reter a luz por um instante que parece o mesmo tipo de magia. Esse ritmo de revelação e ocultação da maré deve mudar a maneira como você vê todo o trecho da costa.
I completely understand what you mean. Reflections have always fascinated me too, especially in these tidal pools because they are never quite the same twice. The tide changes the whole landscape within a few hours, so even a place I know very well can suddenly reveal something different. Thank you, Shannon.
