Living close to the Atlantic, water was going to be an easy assignment. I headed out and took some shots of boats, a lighthouse, and more. While I was shooting, I captured the tide coming in and out. I was surprised at the clarity of the ridges (terraces) formed by the tide.

I love the serendipity of finding this structure in the tide.

I also considered a couple of other images as my submission.

New Dawn on the Atlantic

(the potential title was worth considering for submission)

I also liked the feeling and the seaweed on the rock of this one.
