A broad golden form occupies much of the picture, crossed by deep blue and black movement.
There is very little here that insists on being read as water or rock. The original shoreline has been reduced to large gestures of colour and direction. The scale of the forms makes this photograph feel more physical than descriptive.
For me, it is one of the moments where the Liquid Light idea becomes completely convincing—the photograph has stopped explaining where it came from.
