Green Mountain 1

Taken on an Annapolis cruise, this moment taught me that life is the same. We don’t possess the light or the water or the wind. We only get to reflect it. To be still enough, for one second, to see ourselves in all of it. Photo by Delmeta Jackson of Alexandria, Virginia

“Center Wave” captures the quiet balance between motion and stillness. A lone sailboat glides through the calm waters of Annapolis waters at sunset, framed by dramatic clouds and soft evening light. The image reflects how even in the center of uncertainty, peace can still exist. Photo by Delmeta Jackson of Alexandria, Virginia
