night swimming, for instance. would you believe i have never ever done that? elated, i can admit there's at least one thing in my life i have never ever done. which turns it into a first, for when i will, one fine day.

i've cranked up the theme, to a stylistical display of midnight blue sea waves {for the sole purpose of that night swimming still to happen}. this week's theme by enthusiast rachel. today, we do make the grade for synchro swimming, don't we? ☻

    I never saw such beautiful waves! I love midnight blue.
    many years ago I was swimming in a lake in finland at midnight. sun and moon were both in the sky. It was a great experience!

    Blue waves are call you......I hope you get to experience it.
    Night swimming, floating on my back, looking up at the stars, I fell in love with the sky again.

    night swimming............is great a little scary but that just makes it better. It was so hot one night I took my pillow down to the beach at the end of my street and slept with my body in the shallow water and my head on the pillow on the sand it was the best sleep I ever had a watery doona! when I woke up there were others doing the same along dotted along the beach.

    This would make a fine poster Miss Woolf I love the structure and variation of texture and shades of blue. Very nice artwork indeed.

    Have a great weekend Helen x

    Splish splash, dearest Nadeschda!
    Nightswimming is dangerous, the senses are fine tuned on everything what happens. Every single wave a sensation. So, some fine day when you will rise into the flood, please, take a quiet one. Like your wonderful, mysterious drawing. Wonderful.

    Love
    Ariane.

    Night swimming in the ocean is great - but night diving is just incredible - please set that on your list too! The first time I did I scared myself to death, but the second time I loved it, it was like flying in outer space - wonderful and unusual!
    Like your work some of them are like sparkling light on water.

    Have a nice and floating sunday

    love the waves. We have often swam at night in hotel pools, but I once swam in the ocean in Hawaii with a group of friends at night. Probably not the most responsible thing to do, but then I was 17. Have a great week!

    beautiful waves! I once swam in the sea at night, but it was a scary experience: the water was totally black, and swallowed everything.

    Night swimming is a favourite of mine.
    If you are not offended by the idea, I can see your pattern of waves on a huge blanket. Imagine diving into that every evening!

    Nadine I see these waves as a strong graphic translated into a print fabric. Maybe a swath hung somewhere in an exotic home near the shore. I love the repetition of the 'idea' of this piece of art. Wonderful!!! Talk soon, Norma, xo
