This was photographed on a beautiful evening with November light streaming across the sea in Bellingham, Washington. As I swam around in the frigid waters, I fell entranced by the ocean dancing. At one point, I dipped my head underneath the surface and found a whole different show. Capturing these rays coming through the surface is tricky as the camera autofocus struggles to stick with such fleeting light.
