Burgeo, Newfoundland - One thing I find particularly amazing about being near the ocean is the sea breeze. There is nothing like the smell of the clean salty air or the feel of the cool wind against your face. It really is one of my favorite experiences. While we were on a climbing trip for The North Face, we stopped off in Burgeo, a small town off the southern coast of Newfoundland. While we were waiting to board a boat to Francois, I wandered up from the docks, enraptured by the flowing garments. I shot a couple photos, then went and sat down admiring the view. The wind whipped through the grass next to me, keeping the bugs at bay. It was a perfect spring day.
Fading Whispers
Foros, Ukraine- The sun sets on the Black Sea. Tan bodies sprawled over beach towels quickly gather their things and trek back to their cars as the sea breeze pushes inland. The sun moves further beyond the horizon and the night air cools off. The beach is empty except for a few people combing the rocks for souvenirs. A pair of lovers walking hand in hand, telling secrets only meant for each other, walk past me, their whispers fading as the distance grows. They make their way out on an old unfinished retaining wall. An older couple sits under them, completely oblivious to the wonder and sentiments shared above them.
