As you can see below, the photos start very sunny and warm in the early weeks (summer), before turning sometimes grey and wild during autumn and winter.
I have swum in oceans and a river flowing with bright blue glacial water. It has been warm, it has been cold, but it has never been dull. I love the ocean. It anchors me. I wrote about it here.
Please enjoy the photo and video story of my experience so far.
