In this photo I was attempting to capture the beautiful high tide of the California coast. High tides occur twice a day and are caused by the gravitational force of the moon on the earth. Because the path the moon takes around the earth is elliptical (like an oval), there is a tidal bulge created. This bulge represents the high and low tides which occur twice respectively during the day.
That is awesome! I loved the word 'elliptical'! Haven't seen that type of diction used in many other blogs. I totally understand tides being from Bermuda. I liked all the information but would suggest in the future that you go into more detail about the gravitational force of the moon and the tides. Other than that I thought you did a terrific job!!
