Beaches · Water

The vastness of the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes that cover grand areas of our world hold deep fascination.

I am generally a creature of the forests and the land. The ocean depths (and their lack of natural oxygen) being alien and awkward for me. Whilst bobbing on the surface like shark bait holds little interest diving, free diving and snorkelling are all inspirational ways to explore a minuscule percentage of their mysteries.

There is often a magic in the stillest of waters, a balm for the soul.
