Default What is 'putty sea"? (plz help)
Hello!

Please read the below sentence.

Some of the least effective are sunsets in which a red disk sinks below the

horizon of a putty sea.

What does "putty sea" mean?

'Putty' is the stuff we use to fix panes of glass in windows, so the sea looked like that.
