G'day Paddlewise That was a thought provoking link Doug! Something I've found in sketching is how much more I learn to see. On advocacy. I've long thought that people who have the opportunity to visit a beautiful place have the potential to do a great service by describing it. This isn't to encourage visits and tourism but simply to create the appreciation for these places that just might help them survive or at least be a remembrance when they are lost. Regarding photographs, I think they are ideal as a way of recording activities, friends, techniques and trashings in the surf! Its a tougher proposition to recreate the spiritual or emotional response an environment might create. While memory is fallible it doesn't invade the moment and the greater freedom that comes with writing, painting, sketching or story telling come into their own. I've often wondered what it would be like to hear to hear some of the Paddlewise stories spoken aloud by the writers! Having said all that I was taken by two scenes Mark just posted. The title photo's to Cliff's of Nuaces and Homecoming. Thanks for the link Doug and thanks Mark for those photo's. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
