I once experienced a violent earthquake, and my first, immediate feeling was that I no longer stood on the solid and familiar earth, but on the skin of a gigantic animal that was heaving under my feet ... It was this image that impressed itself on me, not the physical fact ... these effects anthropomorphise the passion of nature, and the purely physical element becomes an angry god.
Carl Jung, 1978.

Oh my. That photo is incredible. I can just feel the salty wind in my air and hear the crash of the surf on the rocky shore. Gorgeous. Lucky, lucky you for witnessing such beauty.
ReplyDeleteLIKE CATH I CAN ONLY COMMENT ON THE PHOTO

I can see now how rough the ocean was Sarah. Yesterday it was a bit like that here, long deceptive lulls interspersed with set waves that turned the sea into a chaotic mess.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy and John. Yes, MF, big swells all around that day, I guess. And chaotic is right, it's the backwash too.
