Fine, another thing I'm learning from you.
But let me point out that in this scene, the water waves were much
less bright than the sky.
It was a very unusual weather situation, a cold storm had just passed
through a hot summer day. It came from the East, and sunlight is
coming from the west.
Water is not at all blue, green or any other color oceanic water could
be thought as.
It's brown. It would take me long to explain why brown - but that's
the color it usually turns after a storm on very sandy beaches.

Well, one might expect any of these situations from Kodak Labs (they
were no longer Kodak, in fact ... ) in Uruguay during mid 90s ...

That's it .. it's not orange, C.H., it's light-brown !
