Did sea define the land or land the sea?

The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass,
Came dazzling around, into the rocks,
Came glinting, sifting from the Americas

To posess Aran. Or did Aran rush
to throw wide arms of rock around a tide
That yielded with an ebb, with a soft crash?

Did sea define the land or land the sea?
Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.
Sea broke on land to full identity. 

Lovers on Aran

holiday on film, part four

Formentor beach. We took a boat round to this hidden spot, sought shelter in a cafe (of sorts) from a rain shower, and then swam in the clear water. 

holiday on film, part three

Some days were just spent at the villa - swimming, reading, eating, snoozing and drinking.

Which is sometimes what holidays are all about.

This film turned out beautifully - it truly shows the warmth of the colours that we saw every day.  I think it was a lomo 100. 

Every single time I get another film developed from this camera, I fall in love with it more and more. The depth of field and clarity of the images are perfect. I'm so glad I left the digital slr at home and "relied" on the film one.
