Sitting here, watching the tide come in… The waves keep changing colour, while the clouds shift from deep slate grey to milky white, their edges softly tinged with grey. Here and there, patches of brilliant blue sky break through…
Headphones on, music playing…
And then it suddenly hits me that the soundtrack to this whole scene — the incoming tide in the Indian Ocean — is Vivaldi’s Winter. 🤣🤣🤣
The sheer absurdity of it! A complete sensory mismatch.
The two couldn’t be more at odds with each other, and yet each is an absolute aesthetic pleasure in its own right.
So, naturally, I had to take a video to capture both what I was seeing and what I was hearing. 🤣🎶🌊
