A Mermaid Fantasy

A Mermaid Fantasy

The rainbow wind blows at a far off coast.
Before dawn, there was a melody I heard.
It was a very nostalgic song.
The birds that fly towards the eastern sky
Now escape to the treasure island using this shortcut,
Where the paradise of the seven seas lies.

~Legend of Mermaid


High tide just before sunrise at the rocks at Pallarenda, Townsville, Queensland.
I’m not usually into pinks, but this very surreal waterscape has grown on me.
The extreme magenta colour cast was the unexpected result of stacking two ND filters with a 2 stop GND. I gave up trying to correct the white balance and embraced it as is.
Enjoy!
