SEA MIST

The Baltic Sea, shallow in many places, is really just a big lake. As such, the water temperature is still cold after this year's hard winter. On warm evenings, mist forms above the surface near the shore.

Yesterday was one such evening. After a sunny day, the wind had dropped completely, ideal for a late evening (8.30pm) cycle ride. An hour later, coming over the crest of the last hill on my way home, I was confronted by a blood red sun dropping over the horizon. While down to my left, its last rays were reflected off the sea mist in the bay behind our house.

It was beautiful.
