Entre deux infinis négatifs

Le peintre doit se rappeler qu'il regarde aussi avec tout son corps, encore plus qu'avec l'oeil.

Jean Bazaine

Upon arrival, greeted by a setting full moon.
High tide, ebbing.
Wind unmistakably from north-northeast (ca. 20 kmph), yet high clouds veiling the setting moon heading towards me, i.e. in opposite direction. With darkness diminishing, clouds in a middle layer of the sky slide in from a third direction: the east.
With all this contradiction, was hoping for lots of drama, but all in all rather quiet.
Saw a seal.

At the end of the morning, a cattle truck backed up on the dike, on its way to pick up the lambs that have grazed on the dike all spring and summer.
