Atlantic Sunrise



At night, the sound of the ocean is lonely. The sound of it, heard from the campsite, makes me think of vastness and infinite spaces and loneliness. At sunrise, the human scale returns. I shared the beach with this strange creature, which the ranger told me was a tunicate and is actually a whole colony of small creatures living together. It's called sea pork. When the waves roll over it, it shrink to the size and shape of a small avocado. Such a sight!

Earth, Air, Fire, Water





I went to the beach and did as I pleased. Other than mistakenly using dish liquid for sauteeing I had a great time, and that wasn't even awful, only in thought. I swam in the ocean, picked up shells, walked on the sand, saw kites flying, and roasted hot dogs.
