As such, I took an awful lot of pictures of nothing but water - some came out okay and some came out not well at all but on days like today where life can be a major source of agitation I find the pictures to be relaxing and that's where this post comes from as I sought a sense of peace from the sea. I think it worked ...
“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore” - Vincent Van Gogh
“`Wouldst thou' - so the helmsman answered.
`Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!'”
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness.” - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“May your joys be as deep as the ocean, your sorrows as light as its foam.” - Author Unknown
"The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so." - Henrik Ibsen
I love the ocean. I love to cruise. I love all the people. I love all the different islands. I love the towel animals. I want to go on another cruise.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. Big hug. :)

ReplyDeletehugs, bee

Some really great pics there, Linda and I love the background water -especially the color. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWatching the sea was one of the things I enjoyed most about my cruise too.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is all at sea I see Linda! I like it. :)
Taking a cruise is how I recharge my batteries. Looking out on a vast blue sea punctuated with the opaque white of the foam just puts my soul at peace -- so many beautiful shades of blue!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...what Sandee said! Dick and I both love the water...any water. And so we go cruising again in just over a week.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, honey...
I took way too any photos of the ocean because it's SO beautiful. Constantly changing.... a lovely oxymoron, yes?
ReplyDeleteBig hugs :]
As we've seen in Japan, the ocean can be very powerful
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a fan of having that much water around me, since drowning is a primal fear of mine. But I do have an interest in taking at least one cruise. I suspect it will be an Alaskan cruise, as Pam and I both have an interest in heading north and seeing the glaciers.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I do get a deep sense of peace and beauty from them. I love the ocean too.
