clouds over water, originally uploaded by bobsee.
I find water so fascinating. In all its forms.
Clouds are lovely. They manage to look solid and soft and substantial and impermanent all at once.
Here’s a photo I took looking down on the clouds as I flew over the French coast.
What’s really amazing here is how you can see the shadows of the clouds on the surface of the sea.
Water reflected on water
Water moving over the face of the water.
Shadows of heaven on earth

When I first looked at this, I thought you had taken a picture of clouds reflecting in water on the ground, and now I wonder, if you had found a still pool of water reflecting clouds in the sky, if they would also have shadows on the ground’s surface, just like in your photo here?
Yes, isn’t that fascinating? I once noticed cloud shadows on water while flying over the clouds and I resolved that if I ever saw it again I’d take a photo. My chance came on the way to France last week.
I like not only the image but the way it sets your mind running – just like its done for you too!
