Ocean and the Summer Sun

What a day, yesterday that is. OK, the day before yesterday. We head out to the beach (Muzinberg), early, in a somewhat cramped vehicle, not filled with people but with surfboards instead. I was well surprised. The weather was great, perfect, somewhere along 23c. And with a plethora of surfers filling the ocean, the sea was glowing.

Now. I have never surfed in my life, in fact, I have never touched a board whilst being in the ocean before. That said, one of my friends asked me if I'd like to give it a shot. Like yeah. After about 20 minutes of just trying to lay on the freckin' thing, one eventually finds their balance. Eventually, I catch a wave (lying, tummy first on the board of course) and it was amazing. I had the dumbest smile on my face once the wave was over. Seriously, that 7 year old "I have ice-cream and it has a chocolate flake in it smile". I just couldn't believe how amazing it was, I was overwhelmed, still overwhelmed.

My muscles still hurt today - a reminder of two things:
1) my amazing day at the beach 2) im unfit.
Anyway, I Will never forget that day. I am now in love the ocean and I cant wait to go again. Hopefully mext time I'll get to stand.

oh, and these photographs weren't taken yesterday (and they were taken at Landando), but, they relate to similar content. The downfall of shooting film, you have to wait.....but I don't mind (who does). If you dont understand, lets see, how else can explain it. mmmmmmmmmm....."shooting film is like falling in love". (once taken, you wait, hope, assume, forget - and once received, you remember, learn, accept, enjoy and you're quite happy with what you have as it cannot be changed nor can it ever re-occur, even if its not what you envisioned )

"shooting film is like falling in love" - that was cheesy wasn't it?
