When I got out to the beach, I was struck by how wonderful it looked, it was a overcast day, but there was no wind at all, and the clouds all had those seamless, silvery gradations into one another. The sun was poking through in spots.Aside from the wonderful clouds, because of the dilution of the light, there was a lot of atmospheric perspective. I was trying to capture a little bit of that in this piece.
