A few weeks ago, a fellow blogger*
https://pattietierney.blogspot.com asked about the most unusual thing my husband and I have seen on our walks around the island. After giving it some thought, and talking with my husband about it, we decided the most unusual thing is a horizonless sky.
Such a sky occurs when, due to atmospheric conditions, sea/land and sky blend together and appear as one. Fog can cause such conditions, sometimes resulting in a white out or a scene like below:
Snow can do the same as we see here on Prince Edward Island when drifts of snow cross the open fields.
So, we see horizonless skies periodically but the most unusual one was this shot of two fishing boats headed out Bedeque Bay in Summerside in April of 2017. The sea was calm and the cloudless sky reflected in the water. The wake of the boats disturbed the surface of the water behind them. But ahead…
What do you see?

P.S.
I choose to see the world this way. The reality of the threats we face in the world today can be overwhelming. I am aware but choose to focus on a better future and work towards it.

Those are two AMAZING photos!
Hello, Marie
Your photos and the scenes are beautiful.
I agree with your words about having a better future.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
That’s wonderful. I know a photographer who does seascapes something like this as fine art. He will take an ordinary photo and work with it until he creates what he wants.
Wonderful photos, and a great outlook on life. We've seen horizonless skies occasionally and I find them mysterious and a bit disconcerting. My eye constantly seeks that line.
your ps is amazing, i could not have said it better myself. i am aware that i am living in the gut of the nightmare, but i stay focused on the good!! i have not been outside the house (except for hanging out the window) and i could not be happier!! i am not stuck here, i live here, i love here!! no one, nothing can change that!! as for those beautiful images today, wow, what a sight to see. i wish i could sail away to to boundless , endless possibilities!! i am going over to see patty, she sounds like someone i would enjoy!!
i have visited pattie before, i remember her!!
Gorgeous captures. 😍
Wonderful photos! It's a perspective few people who live in landlocked areas ever see. I'm trying to recall if I've seen anything like it on a cruise, and it would have to be when we were in the heavy fog off the California coast. We come close when we're in a white-out due to heavy snow too.
Yes ... I choose to look forward and focus on what's ahead. It is not always easy but that's my goal.
Your horizonless photos ate stunning. I think that the "Flat-Earth" people might think these photos prove their point. (:0)
Have a wonderful week and stay warm.

Beautiful perspective and photos. Moody photos bring out all the feels.
Incredible and amazing photos!
It sounds like I should go over and take a look at Pattie's blog. The prairies sometimes get mirages.
I like what it symbolizes for you. We need more of that.
I love that lighthouse in the fog!
That is awesome, it would be hard not to take for granted, I am happy to read that you do not.
Love these images, Marie. I imagine you see the horizonless skies quite often, but in different forms. Each time equally uplifting. A couple of years ago we were with the Grandees at Fort Amherst midmorning, and witnessed a similar thing with the fog across the harbour and 2 sailing boats drifting through.
Wow these photos are incredible. I like and agree with you.. we have to still have hope and believe that there is a better future.
Very interesting Marie and as usual - great photos. Love your insight too.
Beautiful photos. They spark our imagination and help us relax. Thank you so much and warm regards to you and your family.
Focusing on limitless possibilities is a good attitude, Marie. I especially liked these shots especially the first one. The world is in turmoil, but that does mean I have to follow suit. Thanks too for the birthday wishes, much appreicated.
Beautiful photos and an interesting horizon event.
Outstanding Photos & Big Hugs
Cheers
Amazing pictures.
You live on a very photogenic island. : )
Those photos are STUNNING!! What an amazing thing to see. I'm glad I asked that questioned. And thanks for the shout out. :-)
The horizonless sky is an interesting phenomenon. That light tower appears to be floating in mid-air!!
I never would have thought of a horizonless view as the most unusual thing you see. As someone who does not live on PEI I can think of several unusual thing you enjoy compared to the rest of us - like your boardwalk, your various sorts of fishing boats, your icebreaker. All pretty unusual to me!
Stunning photos, there are many pictures you've taken that shows how beautiful our planet is.

I don't recall last time I been on a boat.
What a beautiful and thoughtful reflection, Marie. Your “horizonless” skies are both haunting and hopeful—especially in the second picture, where sky and sea seem to merge into pure possibility. I love how you connect that image to life’s journey… quietly brave, trusting, and full of grace. Thank you for sharing such gentle wisdom and wonder. John
Marie, your words and photos are stunning. ✨
The horizonless sky feels like a gentle reminder that the future is wide open, full of mystery and possibility.
How wise you are to focus on such beauty.
How interesting. Imagine being in that boat. I am like you, determined not to let the current state of affairs pull me into its mire.
Such incredible and amazing shot my friend,congrats for capturing it 👍
I loved your description of how such views are formed 🥰
Yes world is designed in probabilistic manner,each thing and situation is aligned with so many probabilities and what choice we make decides the destiny of us and everything else
