Vanishing Horizon

Thick white morning fog erases the horizon over a still lake, blending water and sky into one pale field. Small dark waterbirds rest scattered across the glassy surface, tall reeds rise at the lower right, and the faint silhouette of a boat hovers in the mist right where the horizon would otherwise be.
Vanishing Horizon

“The sea was indistinguishable from the sky,
except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.”

— Virginia Woolf, The Waves

    This is beautiful Egido, I love images where the horizon is really hard to work out.

      Thanks, Leanne. That hard-to-find horizon was my motivation for this wonderful theme.
