December 2024 — Rincón, Puerto Rico

This photo captures a dynamic moment at the Caribbean sea in Rincón, Puerto Rico, featuring the silhouette of a diving bird against a bright, cloudy sky. Prominently positioned in the upper-center, the dark silhouette of a large bird, consistent with a pelican, is captured mid-descent, its wings angled back and body pointing downwards as if diving towards the water. Below the bird, the expansive Caribbean Sea stretches into the background, characterized by rolling waves with white caps breaking along the shore and further out. The water appears a deep blue-green, with darker, rocky formations visible in the immediate foreground, some covered with what appears to be seaweed. Several small, distant figures, likely surfers, can be discerned in the waves. The sky above is a bright, clear blue, adorned with a spattering of fluffy white clouds, some appearing wispy and high, others more solid. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and an active coastal environment.
