Sunrise at Cokes Surf Break reveals the sun rising behind the nearby resort. A boat, likely fishing or on a sunrise cruise, moves through the channel between the two islands. At the bottom of the frame, foamy waves touch the shore, tinted blue by the sky’s light. Beyond them, the sea turns golden as the sun emerges above the horizon. Low-lying clouds appear grey and stormy, while the sky above glows with a band of gold.

Where do souls go at life’s end Perhaps only a boatman can say Perhaps only Charon knows the way to an isle of transition A restful place with no decisions Island of the dead isn’t vindictive only Cypress trees glass seas and light #vss365 #ipoetrysky #Emoetry #poetsofbluesky #ECK 🎨 Böcklin
Arnold Böcklin
The Island of the Dead, 1883
(Die Toteninsel) Version 3

The Island of the Dead is the most well known painting of Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901).

Description: 
A boatman ferries a lone figure garbed in white to a rocky island with gorgeous Cypress trees, surrounded by glass-like waters. 

Böcklin provided no public explanation as to the meaning of the painting but described it as a 'dream picture.'

The title was coined by art dealer Fritz Gurlitt in 1883. 

Not knowing the painting's history, some observers interpret the oarsman as the boatman Charon, who ferried souls to the underworld in Greek mythology. The water, either River Styx or the River Acheron.

Torii on small islet at dusk in Amatsu-Kominato, Chiba Prefecture, Japan . Photography by Jon Sheer
Rising dramatically against a brooding dusk sky off the coast of Amatsu-Kominato in Chiba Prefecture, the ancient sea stack of Suzume-jima—famously known as Fudō-iwa—anchors the wild intertidal shore. At the rocky foot of the monolith sits a vibrant vermilion torii gate, illuminated by golden crepuscular rays breaking through dense, sculpted cloud cover. The receding tide reveals an expansive sea floor draped in vivid green sea lettuce (aosa) and mosses, interspersed with dark, pitted volcanic rock and still tidal pools reflecting the fiery twilight above. The photograph evokes a breathtaking sensory atmosphere: the rhythmic surge of Pacific swells breaking against weathered stone, the sharp, salty tang of ocean spray carried on a cooling evening breeze, the damp chill of twilight settling onto wet algae, and the profound, reverent hush that envelops a sacred sanctuary at the edge of the sea.   Captured by photographer Jon Sheer along the Bōsō Peninsula in Kamogawa City, this photograph documents Japan's deep tradition of venerating sacred coastal topography. The sea stack functions as a natural yorishiro—a sacred vessel or dwelling place for sea deities (kami)—with its miniature torii marking the boundary between the mundane world and the divine presence of the ocean. For centuries, coastal shrines along the peninsula have served as spiritual guardians for regional fishing communities and maritime navigators, offering prayers for safe passage and abundant catches.

And so it began in the heart of a hurricane impatient love and hate beat down everything #vss365 #hurricane #writesky #poetsofbluesky #poetrysky #photography #photoart #EastCoastkin #ECK #WCK 💙📷 me (Full text in ALT)
Hurricane 

Dust swirled between us
Between you and me 
and the sticky seat 
of a beat up lorry

Hot breeze
whipped my tattered slip 
as we rambled on 
past dry rivers of emotion 
tension stretched out 
time and pulse beat on

I stared out of the window 
out of myself, and thought
Disappointment
could break a lesser heart

Resistance
drove me away from you
Simple proof
the wind steers on its own

And so it began
in the heart of a hurricane 
Impatient love and hate 
beat down everything

Shallow traces of reluctance 
once found on your face 
must have been grief

A moment of truth passed 
between you and me 
on the sticky seat 
of a beat up old lorry.
°2026, Hurricane, Winter Ives.
