First Night June 15th 2025
From the imagination: a youngster’s first night swim – or, perhaps more significantly, their first solo night swim. With such perfect conditions, I hope you agree that they simply had to go! Still clear air, and a calm sea which we hope is gin clear, too; no phosphorescence, but maybe there will be next time.
A different technique to my usual, for this picture: using a sharp point to scrape through the deep blue top paint layer and find the pure white beneath.
