Garrison Keillor always talked about the magic of Lake Superior. There’s something special about sitting by the inland sea that calms the spirit and soothes the nerves. On this day the lake was being gentle, however, there are those days when she gets agitated and tends to make a bit of a mess of the shore.
There is always a light at the coast. Ocean and sky never stop meeting in their eternal dance of motion and change. In this monochrome photograph taken on the Oregon coast, the light persists even in the contrast of shadow and silhouette. Softly illuminating the wet sand, piercing the clouds and outlining the trees that cling to the cliffs. The ocean reflects the sky’s quiet determination to shine through, no matter how heavy the clouds. The coast reminds us that light is not always brilliant. Sometimes it is simply a soft glow that remains. Guiding the eye of the passing photographer and his lens to capture something enduring.
