The Ocean | The Sky | A Wall
One of the previous prompts for the CY365 was Serene and I've had in mind an image for quite some time. I finally decided to get the camera out and see how it would work. It didn't.
We have one of those Chinese temple statues kind of things that go in the garden. We had it in Cairns for a couple of years, however, when we got here we had no real idea of where we wanted to put it, so it found a home in the pool area and was forgotten. Once we redid the landscaping we moved it to a place of its own. I thought it would make a nice photo with gardens around it and the pool in the background - a touch of serenity. But it didn't work out regardless of how I tried to take the shot.
While crawling around in the gardens I noticed the sunlight reflecting on our ceramic pot, and thought it worth taking a couple of photos. I'm glad I did. The glaze almost looks like blue lava flowing out of the indents in the pot, with the blur of running water flowing over the sides. I also like the orange reflections from the sun; yep, that golden hour for photography, that wonderful light.
So while I didn't end up with anything for Serene I knew that there was also a prompt for Blue, so I've run with that for tonight.
