Light dancing on water

My obsession with light can be traced back to one of my trips to my father’s hometown. On the southern part of Mindanao, lies one of the island that my aunt owns. We took a boat trip to get to the small island. In the middle of the sea, the boat driver brought us to a halt to take a peek at the corals underneath.

The corals were cool. Coral stuff, you know. But it was the light on the water before we took a dive that mesmerized me. It was iridescent, light on jazz, if there was such a thing. Imagine the movement of murmurations but instead of birds, it’s sunlight shimmering on water.
