Dawn on the lagoon of Orbetello- Concetta Flore

The sun rises late in September, so it was fine to slip out of bed and walk the short path to the look-out of the Orbetello sanctuary managed by WWF Italy.
I was there with seven students for a watercolor workshop.
The sky was full of new light and  a kingfisher appeared on the branch cunningly submerged just outside the look-out . Grebes glided by the fishing nets, and the water was absolutely flat.
The ripples appeared later, with the first sea breeze.

Sorry for the uneven paper and consequently bad scan...
