    During these troubling times

    It's very important that we stop every once in a while, take a deep breath, let it out, and remember what a wonderful place our world is when we take care of one another.

    Enjoy

    Love it, thanks for the link.

    I have always loved tidal estuaries, and time lapse photography is such a great way to demonstrate their dynamic nature. We have all seen them at various time and stages of tidal change but never spent the hours needed to actually see them go from high to low in one beautiful cycle. And here we have more than a dozen examples in one minute's time. Gorgeous.

    As a non drinker with good night vision I often found myself on anchor watch when there were several dinghy loads of returnees from a run ashore trying to find their yacht amid all the other similar craft which had, during their absence, moved around due to the tide turning, the wind changing - it was those who had carefully noted their positions and who were unable to work out why they were in an obviously boatless situation afforded me the most innocent merriment as I sipped my cocoa in the cockpit and awaited the return of my shipmates.

    The modern marinas with their pontoons are not half so much fun.

    There is something very calming to actually experience the slow alteration of the coast, it is as though the world was breathing, very slowly.

    I suspect that Humans lived for a long time on the tidal margins of the land, and it appeals to our natural selves, though add in a few dozen yachts at anchor and the experience can be rather frantic, with the odd sudden splash thrown in for good measure.

    Can I ask why you don't like it? I find the breathing very soothing. It's similar to the breathing pattern I use when I meditate.
