Have you ever sat and watched the tide come in? It is a very relaxing experience in the 41-degree latitude. I have been to the Bay of Fundy where the inbound tide arrives in a rush and a crash. Here in Rhode Island, the incoming tide is relaxing slow yet quick enough to observe.

In this case, we were standing at the beach at Rocky Point in Warwick Neck, Rhode Island. There are unique conditions here where Narragansett Bay's east and west passages meet. Stir in the setting sun and we see flowing liquid gold.

The quiet view of golden flowing water produces a sense of calm.
