Abstracts. The best abstract images are the ones you find in nature.  Not always easy to spot with the naked eye, but the compacting characteristics of a long lens shows you things in a different light, and the light in this example reflects the vivid indigo sky above.  This is called Brewster's angle, after the Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster. When unpolarized light is incident at the correct angle to water, the light that is reflected from the surface is  perfectly polarized which in this case has given me the lovely deep hue. Shot on a quiet hot afternoon at Himley, Staffs.
