Metallic clouds were descending like a roller blind towards the horizon. Beneath them, the sky was alight with red, yellow and orange hues. The greyness and the brightness enhanced each other's power in the contrast. Yin and Yang, old and young, light and dark, the beauty is in the balance.

The waves crashed to the shore, creating an exciting and dangerous soundtrack. I breathed the sea air deep into my lungs, my body tingled...I was ready. I faced my easel, took up my brush and started painting.
