By the Sea

/

I was looking at one of my many coffee table photo books, By the Sea, by Robert Farber, published in 1987. One of the images caught my attention. I thought, I have an image like that. I’ll pull it up - compare, reflect.

The reflection found me looking at all the images in the book. For each image Farber had a sentence or two, by a famous person, reflecting on what being by the sea meant to them.

Here is a, not-so-famous, person’s sentence or two, to accompany his image, lines. - the look alike, I captured in 2016 in Trieste, Italy, in the canal leading to the Adriatic Sea.

Being by big water quiets, opens, my mind. The sound, smell, majestic view, overwhelms my sense of wonder, particularly when colors of the sky enhance, the pulsating beauty.
