Swimming

The Light by the Sea

Posted on by Hanna

Today is a cold rainy day in August. In fact, it could easily have been a day in November.
I was looking through my own pictures to match the light of Joaquín Sorolla’s wonderful paintings.
But I decided to deviate, with this summer image back in June 2015, where people were wearing overcoats.
Just like today 😀

The light on a Danish beach, Bellevue, 8. June, 2015.

Shaken and Stirred

Fierce gusts made it difficult for me to keep my balance – on the ground 🤣

But some surfers had a tremendous play with waves.

Several were captured by the wind and hang for a moment what looked like 3 to 4 meters above the sea.

A Happy Change

I had a lovely shift in the weather yesterday:

A grey sky is broken,
by a fresh wind.
The smell of brine, and dog rose.
A new poem begins,
one full of play and white horses.
