Between Dark and Light

The hour before the day fully commits to itself, when darkness is still present in the water and the first light has only just begun to find the surface of the sea.

Mist, shadow and shifting swell merge along the southern coastline, the distant headland holding its position in the background while the foreground remains restless and abstract. The ocean in this light feels less like a subject and more like a presence, something observed quietly and without interruption.

Cape Paterson at this hour belongs to itself.
