(yoga) on the beach

It is almost a summer day, 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and Torquay beach offers a few hours of solace. I forget about the PhD and other usual problems; even the pain in my leg seems to disappear. A yoga practice by the ocean is for one of the blissed moments in life; the clear calm (cold) waters of the Southern Ocean are quite attractive, especially after getting used to the cold and grey Atlantic. Returning to the car, my left leg was hurting again and the ankle became very swollen.

The last backbend on the beach: chakrasana

 I am wandering trying to find the horizon, the line where the ocean meet and sky. But there is no horizon, only blurred field, while the water encounter the land with crushing sound.

road trip | Florida: Sunset at St. Pete Beach

After a hot day in the car, I finally made to the Gulf of Mexico coast of Florida and I was rewarded with one of the most magical sunset ever witnessed.
