As I’ve mentioned before, the name of this blog comes from a quote by one of my favorite authors: The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.
This weekend I worked out hard- sweat, and cried over a movie (quite appropriately, Out of Africa)-tears. I’m only missing the sea. I suppose that’s why I’m yearning for the ocean today. It must be synchronicity that I came across this post on Colossal:
“Ocean Atlas” is the latest underwater sculpture by artist Jason deCaires Taylor. I snorkeled every week when I lived in Hawaii, and I’d love to visit some of his underwater sculpture installations. Add that to my bucket list. Snorkeling feels like a combination of floating and flying. It’s a complete sensory experience, the silky warm water enveloping your entire body, the rhythmic sound of your breath moving in and out of the snorkel, and the amazing sights that lie just hidden below the ocean’s surface.
Also found while browsing Colosal- a beach made entirely of sea glass, near Fort Bragg, California
At one time I had a large amount of sea glass that I’d collected from beaches where I lived and visited. The green is my favorite, because someone once told me that I had sea glass-green eyes. Blue sea glass may be rarer, but when it comes to eyes, only 2% of the world population has green eyes.
I’ll leave you with one of the best scenes from Out of Africa:

I love that scene too but this is my favorite: (I’ve brought you some things) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/an-Vngp2J44bhbJmm/out_of_africa_1985_reunited_with_bror/
Colossal is a great site! I’d love to see those sculptures in person.

Charlotte, that is a great scene! I love it when Bror says, “you’ve changed your hair”. Makes me laugh every time.
Colossal is so easy to get lost in– in a good way!
