Yes… the state of Connecticut is in that direction (about six miles across the water). On most clear days it’s visible, but it was haze-enshrouded for the duration of our walk.
I like this a lot, John—of course for the composition, but also the gradation of color and how I have to look hard to see the horizon line.
Thank you Linda. We had to look hard to see the horizon line as well. There was a bright haze several miles off-shore which kept us asking, “where is Connecticut?” ☺
You scared them…seriously, the string of ducks, the breaking wave, the transparency of the water, and the amorphous horizon are beautiful together here.
Thanks Lynn. I think those geese couldn’t make up their minds, “is it food or flight?”
Canada geese, of course – I thought they might be Mallards and they’re not likely to form a line like that.
Today I’m focusing on the blue haze in this image. I love the way it dissolves.
They’re actually the lesser-known Brant Goose. They resemble the Canada Goose but they’re 25% smaller, and their necks are not quite as long.
Oh, I love Brant! Joe and I have great memories of them on Staten Island. We both really like their low murmuring when they’re in a group (when you’re close enough to hear them.) They’re out here (PNW) but not RIGHT here so I don’t really see them these days.
