better left unsaid

Lawrence­town Beach can be a windy place, espe­cially in the win­ter. I was walk­ing along the dunes that line the beach, look­ing for some­thing inter­est­ing, at least a dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive of the beach. The grasses along the dunes are quite tall in places and their move­ment in the wind can be hyp­notic. At this point, I liked the way the path was so dark against the light lines of the grass and how its curv­ing line copied the curves of the blow­ing grass. My cam­era was start­ing to com­plain from the cold, so I knelt down to get a bet­ter van­tage point, the waist-level finder of the cam­era help­ing to give me a lower view­point. A few min­utes after this shot, my cam­era gave up, time to get going home.
