A large white cloud sits across the horizon and repeats itself in the blue surface of Pelican Lagoon.
Then the stillness is interrupted.
A circle of ripples expands across the foreground, cutting through the reflection before slowly disappearing. I remember wanting, for a moment, to make a mark in that quiet surface. The photograph contains both conditions at once: the apparent permanence of the cloud and its reflection, and the brief disturbance moving through them.
The mark matters because it cannot remain.
