Three life-sized bronze dolphins leap towards us at the entrance an Imperial Beach park. The sculpture is by Wayland, an environmental artist who specializes in endangered marine life. It is one of several sculptures in Imperial Beach sponsored by the Port of San Diego’s Public Art Program. I used a 24mm wideangle focal length lens to make this image. By moving below the leaping dolphins, I am able to emphasize the heights dolphins can soar above the water. I place the sun just behind the flipper of the dolphin at right. The resulting halo symbolizes the energy displayed by such animals as these. The palm trees act as a thrusting counterpoint, symbolizing the nature of the place itself.
