"Scaled Mud"
The Bay of Fundy is home to vast stretches of mud, where constant tidal activity erodes the soft red sandstone, turning the water murky and leaving layers of sediment behind. On my first outing to the old wharf in Windsor along the St. Croix River (fed by the Bay of Fundy), the tide was out, exposing the inlet's muddy banks. While I was hoping for higher tides (and would return for that) the lower tide revealed intricate textures in the mud that were perfect for photography.
An image I’ve been wanting to add to my portfolio is one of cracked mud. While this mud was far from dry, it offered a similar opportunity with its intricate patterns and winding lines. The challenge was finding a balanced composition, and I believe I managed to capture one here.
The patterns reminded me of reptilian scales, which inspired the title "Scaled Mud." Do you see it too, or am I just imagining things? Let me know what you think!
