Silhouetted Snorkeler Above Swaying Garden Eels in above a seagrass meadow in California

Silhouetted Snorkeler Above Swaying Garden Eels

by Harold Preston

Late afternoon coastal glare cuts through the surface, creating a bright, washed-out sky above a deep blue ocean. A snorkeler floats near the surface, their form reduced to a dark silhouette against the intense light. Below, a dense field of garden eels rises from a seagrass meadow on the sea floor. Their slender bodies sway in unison, creating a rhythmic texture of green and brown stalks. Plankton haze softens the distant background, blurring the horizon line between water and sky. The eels stand upright in the sandy bottom, their heads bobbing gently. Sunlight filters down, illuminating the tips of the swaying stalks while the foreground remains in shadow. at the edge is the sharp edge of the snorkeler's silhouette against the glowing water surface.
