Day 338 - a Year by the Sea

This is a stand of phragmites that grew up to cover a burn earlier this year. That’s why they are all the same size. For some reason, their leaves all flopped over pointing towards the northern horizon. Unlike the older untouched part of the phragmites, these reeds also appear to be sun bleached. The result is this eerie image of wraithlike plants. Today has been warmer but paradoxically felt colder even though it was less windy as well. There were certainly plenty of birds around, especially ducks but it felt emptier. A strange day.

Ciao!
