The intensely cold air over the relatively warmer ocean causes water vapor to form out in the bay, aptly called sea smoke. As the sun crested the horizon, the first rays of light brightened and then gently colored the lovely effervescent mist.
LOVE the title of your piece and the photos of the gull and the frozen seaweed. Gorgeous. I had a similar experience and will write about it, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful essay and photographs--those Bufflehead, and a Horned Grebe is always a treat. Partial to coastal marsh I have spent a lot of time in that landscape in wintertime, you do a wonderful job capturing the feeling, "sea smoke and the magic of sunrise." Thank you.
As always, a beautiful poetic description. So glad I could sit in my warm house while you froze and made it possible for me and others to see all you describe. Thank you Lewis!
