Apart 35/52

The Atlantic was born today and I’ll tell you how…

The clouds above opened up and let it out.

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere

When the water filled every hole.

And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,

Making islands where no island should go.

Oh no.

 

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.

I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.

The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.

The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

It seems farther than ever before

Oh no.

 

I need you so much closer [x8]

 

I need you so much closer [x4]

So come on, come on [x4]

This week's them is Hyperlocal... ie trying to get the foreground and background in focus by (using the simple explanation) focusing about 1/3 into the photo. Here I attempted to focus between these two sets of broken piers separated within the water as the sun rose (I like to thrown in the fun of not being able to see, but by this photo at least the sun was coming up!). This was a gorgeous morning morning on this stunning secluded beach where several abandoned piers are found that have worn away over time. This pier in particular has only these posts left. It was lovely sunrise and I got to practice with my new 10 stopper!
