In last week’s post about Diamond Beach (Diamond Beach Abstract), I spoke of the impact of the seasons on the display of rough diamonds. There may not be a lot of opportunities in Winter to get the sun glistening through the ice. That does open up the possibility of a different mood presented in each image. During my visit in February of 2024, there was beautiful subdued lighting on the beach.
Here’s another image from that day…
Even with muted sunlight, this large diamond has an internal glisten to it. As it stands against the black sands of the beach, it shows Nature’s presence. Albeit it a small piece of the glacier, the ice is filled with beauty.
In particular, I find the structure and contrast between ice and sand fascinating. The experience in Winter is worth it, especially as there are few, if any, distractions!
