Daily Photo – Morning on the St Clair Esplanade
I hadn’t planned to come back, not really, but for some reason I did. So I returned, without much thought, and found myself looking over the ocean in the early honest hours of the morning. The beach, like the surrounding businesses, was quiet, the tide easing in and out with a kind of patience that makes everything else feel hurried in comparison. The sky stretched wide, layered in deep blues and purples, with thin ribbons of orange gathering near the horizon. The first hint of sun, not yet committed, but close. The shoreline held the sky, soft and shifting, disturbed only by the occasional ripple of water. Further along into the distance, small lights began to appear in windows. Nothing dramatic, just the quiet signs of a day beginning somewhere beyond the edge of the sea. I stayed for a while, not thinking about much at all.
