Tidal Textures
Sea grasses sway gently on the Oregon Coast, creating an intimate landscape of subtle tonalities. The delicate interplay of light and shadow across the sea grasses caught my eye, revealing the quiet beauty of this coastal ecosystem.
This October found us on the Oregon Coast, balancing our time between teaching a workshop and indulging in some personal photography. I've never really considered myself an ocean person - my roots are in the mountains, and beach trips were few and far between in my younger years. But over time, I've developed a deep appreciation for the coastal environment, especially the intricate details hidden within each tide pool. It's fascinating how the ebb and flow of the tides constantly unveil new wonders.
During this particular outing, my attention was drawn to these sea grasses. What struck me most was the subtle play of tonalities, beautifully revealed under the typical overcast sky of the Oregon Coast. It's moments like these that remind me how even the most common elements of a landscape can transform into something extraordinary under the right conditions.
