7th of February
A warm, slow breeze blows in over the dry reef,
Sweeps up the shoreline, dousing me in freshness.
No daylight this, but a world of moonlight,
The heavens are spread with small points of light.
Motionless; I watch the soldier crabs emerge.
Black, noise-some mud clings to the soles of my feet.
My whole world is silent; the village is dark.
My hot soul is soothed and lulled by the sea-sound.
Possessed of a sudden euphoria born of shore-ripples, of wind, of salt, of freedom,
I take up off up the bare slope, dodging crab holes…
This spur-of-the-moment photography is a part of an spontaneous road trip that leads us to a beautiful beach south of the city.

Nice Ms. B... I like these series of photos.... wouldn't be even nicer to dance around with a bottle of bud, dancing to the tune of The Doors' "Dancing in the Moonlight" (Doors nga ba kumanta nun?).
