Surreal Otter Diving Blue Whale Shadow in at the edge of a reed bed in Rhode Island

Surreal Otter Diving Blue Whale Shadow

by Dante Johnson

Late spring sunlight flattens the surface of a Rhode Island river where ground fog pools in the low hollows of a reed bed. A European otter dives into the water, its dark silhouette cut sharply against the bright, reflected glare. Above the reeds, a massive blue whale floats in the sky, its gray flank and pectoral fin rendered with impossible clarity. The whale casts a deep, cool shadow that stretches across the water and the mist below, against the warm noon light. The reeds stand still, their green tips catching the glare, while the water ripples around the diving otter. The shadow of the whale touches the surface of the river, merging with the ripples created by the otter's entry. One reed tip bends slightly under the weight of the shadow's presence.
