Photoblog: Ode to the Ocean.

Those of you who have followed any of my travels will know that my love for the ocean runs deep and wide. There have been many moments in time when all I did was capture the sea, sand and anything near it or in it. Having grown up in the beautiful seaside city of Cape Town, I have been blessed with the very best of the blue surrounding me. If I wasn’t having coffee along the coast, I was surfing a few waves or walking in the harbour beside the fishing boats. I’ve been spoilt in that now, when I’m landlocked, claustrophobia sets in. I am forever moved by the constant changing and moods of the ocean. Here are some of my favourites from across the globe…
