Mirror of the Earth and Sky

Here's another view of the cool clouds shown in the previous post, this time with the landscape included. In answer to the obvious question that this image may raise...yes, that amazing sky really was above this causeway when I took the photo. This is a collage of two shots taken sequentially, but I took the two shots merely to increase the number of pixels so that I would end up with a larger file from which I could make a larger print. In the spirit of the interpretive landscape image, I have obviously done some fairly significant dodging and burning here as well as some selective sepia toning, but the sky is not imported from another scene.

It was an amazing and wonderful moment, as I can never recall being in a place where a triangular shape in the landscape was echoed so perfectly by a triangular shape in the clouds.Another aspect of this image that I find intriguing is the fact that the water on the left is rippled and unsettled, while the water on the right is calm. This is all the more noteworthy since the water on the right is the side that faces the open ocean, while the water on the left is the protected harbor side.
