Pennington Bay is reduced here to a long horizon, moving water and cloud, with only a small piece of rock holding the foreground.
The colour carries much of the photograph: pale turquoise close to shore, a darker band of ocean beyond and a large blue sky in which the clouds appear to move away from the centre. The landscape feels open rather than empty.
The title matters because it gives that horizon a direction. Looking south from Kangaroo Island, the space beyond the frame becomes part of the picture.
