REFLECTIONS IN THE WET SAND

 

 A treat when we visit the beach is seeing the sea birds standing in the morning light on the wet sand. Three images of the birds are presented. First is the reflection in the wet sand before there is enough light to fully illuminate the birds.  When the direct light of the sun breaks the horizon the reflected light from the birds is strong enough to reach our eyes. As the light increases shadows of the birds are discernible.

This reminds me that all we see are images each presenting partial information of an infinite pattern.
