Description
A foggy day at the beach left no visibility, just the close, gray sky and the damp, smooth sand. The solitude was breathtaking. What is that? A small puff of breeze left an opening in the visible air, revealing a scene. Behind a row of stomped-down sea grass, a row of blue beach umbrellas lines the beach, each with two chairs, patiently waiting for the crowd. And still shrouded in fog, a distant pine tree.
A muted scene, when one thinks of beach scenes. Mono-chromatic, with a slash of bright royal blue. Seven 'brellas snugged against one another, shielding non-existent sun worshippers, who were not sitting in the chairs.
I took this shot at Hilton Head, SC, near Coligny, on a day when the fog never lifted. I waited that morning for the breeze to shift. The other side of the island was clear and bright. But even after noon, the fog remained in place. Thus, the beach was uninhabited. Through the mist, though, something attracted me. I walked closer and the row of blue umbrellas emerged. The emptiness of the beach and the emptiness of the background together emphasized the only color in the photo. Chairs and umbrellas together, waiting for the sun.
