Awestruck, Mission Beach, San Diego, California, 2010

The setting sun has turned the incoming tide to gold, an atmospheric liquid carpet that obviously engages the imagination of this child who gingerly tests the water with her toes. I abstract as a silhouette to engage the imagination of the viewer as well. The mood is all about wonder and awe.

Yes, the child seems to dance on a golden stage here, Tim. The gesture implies a sense of balance that is at the core of the dance.

I totally agree with the caption on this one, but I might add that the gestures of her hands also play an important point here - it is almost as if she is dancing on the gold.
