A beautiful sunrise at Ruby Bay Nelson. The horizon looks tilted, but it is an optical illusion caused by the low cloud - Honest I triple checked! Thanks for looking.

Have you ever seen light reflecting off the ocean on a calm day?

Life on earth would be impossible without light. Plants use energy from the sun to grow and make food for all living things.

Light is a form of energy which travels in small, invisible waves.

Light moves faster than anything else in the universe. It can travel more than 186,000 miles per second. That means light can circle the earth eight times in one second!

But light does not travel through all substances at the same speed. Like you, light moves more quickly through air than it does through water. When light slows down, it bends. This is called refraction.

When light shines on a surface, some of the rays bounce back off. This is called reflection. Flat shiny surfaces, like glass, work the best for reflection. Have you ever seen light reflecting off the ocean on a calm day?

Although we usually think of light as colorless, it does appear in color. We can see the colors when light rays are separated as they pass through certain substances like water and glass. Light appears in seven distinct colors known as a spectrum.

There are two other kinds of light rays which are not visible to the human eye. One is called ultraviolet, which is the light that causes you to tan or burn in the sun. The other one is infrared, and it is the light that warms you when you sit in the sun.

Hi Pam,
It's the simplicity of this shot that makes it so wonderful...horizontal lines and brilliant colours work together perfectly to produce a stunning image. The reflection of the sun is very special indeed and your careful exposure and composition aren't bad either!
Well done. Marvellous work.
Best wishes, Vicky
