My favourite time was sunset. Most of the sunsets were vibrant, I particularly enjoyed the unique pink skies. My favourite moment was swimming in the water during a rain shower as the sky lit up the ocean in brilliant shades of magenta.

I invite the viewer to escape with me into a summer well spent and find themselves renewed and refreshed for the year to come.
