Bridgewater Bay Sunset Blairgowrie for Skywatch Friday

 


This, the final frame, was taken ere I departed the bay, ere darkness fell and made perilous the walk upon the exposed sea-floor. Bridgewater Bay, with its sands laid bare by the retiring tide, bears the memory of countless ages—fishermen of old, skiffs gliding over these waters, and the early settlers of Blairgowrie, who first tamed these shores. Even as the light waned, the gentle murmur of the sea seemed to recount their stories, and I lingered, mindful of the history written in every ripple and grain of sand.

  4. Yes, night's curtain was descending.
    I had to reread "ere darkness fell" because my brain first went to "ere drunkeness fell."

  9. Great photo and I love you being mindful of who walked that area before you. I live in an area that was given to Native Americans after a forced march from the southeast USA. Of course what was given to them was stolen again.
