Ocean Night

This is beautiful. There is a mostly full moon moving behind a partly cloudy sky. Moonlight is reflecting off of the Gulf of Mexico and shimmering on the water. There is a rhythmic and surging, but subtle crashing sound as the waves roll onto the shore. The night is dark. The beach houses have their lights off to prevent confusing the baby sea turtles. It is quiet and peaceful other than the motion of the sea, that suggests a unseen powerful world. So thrilling to sleep where the earth meets the ocean.
