there is a path along the mouth of Lågen river where it empties into Larviksfjorden. parts of the shore on both sides of the river have small but very nice sand beaches
but the currents are too strong and dangerous for swimming. since it was a warm day i felt the least i could do was give my shadow a chance to cool off in the sparkling water
while i stood waiting i noticed how interesting patterns were forming where the quickly flowing fresh river water met the dying incoming waves of the salt fjord- the above photo is my contest entry
the patterns on the surface created subtle shadows on the sandy bottom so while my shadow was quite stable the play of light and shadow on the underwater sand was continuously changing
that was fun but next time i will be sure to go to a place where i also can take a dip without fear of getting pulled under and swept out to sea
