Sunshine Challenge 2021 - Prompt 6 (Amphitrite)

Prompt 6: Amphitrite

Amphitrite is the goddess of the sea, wife of Poseidon, and eldest of the fifty Nereides. She is the female personification of the ocean: the mother of fish, seals and dolphins. Poseidon chose Amphitrite from among her sisters as the Nereids performed a dance on the isle of Naxos. Refusing his offer of marriage, she fled to Atlas. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king. She also bred sea monsters, and her great waves crashed against the rocks, putting sailors at risk.

This picture has turned up twice as the wallpaper when I start my computer. It's called "Beautiful ocean surfing wave at sunset beach, Havelock Island, India"; and I finally found it on the web! It's partly the luscious curve of the wave, but also the extraordinary colours.

Ah, this looks magical! Love the gleaming, metallic colours of the water, too. Thank you so much for sharing.

This picture popped into mind the moment I saw the Amphitrite prompt. (Now all I need to do is go back and figure out something suitable for Pan.)

Love the colors and the movement! Nice use of the prompt.

[greerwatson]

The colours are quite magical.

[yarnofariadne]

It's gorgeous!

[greerwatson]

Isn't it though? I hunted it down because those wallpapers come and go; and I didn't want to lose it. It's just too lovely not to have it safely saved.

[lightbird]

Ooh, this is such a cool pic!

[greerwatson]

Gorgeous, isn't it?

[silveradept]

That is quite a curl there, Ave the shot of the frame makes it look more live a glad sculpture than a wave caught in motion. Really beautiful.

[greerwatson]

They really caught the instant, didn't they? No blurring at all. It's crystal clear.

[enemytosleep]

[greerwatson]
