A dark wave crosses the frame beneath an equally heavy sky, its surface smoothed by movement while a narrow edge of foam catches the remaining dawn light. Sea and sky seem almost to belong to the same weather.
The extended exposure has softened detail without removing the force of the wave. Instead, its energy seems concentrated into a single dark shape moving through the photograph.
Storm light can make a familiar coastline feel briefly unfamiliar.
That is often when I find the picture.
