Looking back, I remember how a friend of mine guessed that my favourite place was the beach. I didn’t think too much of it at the time. Perhaps he knew me a bit better than I knew myself. Perhaps it had been a lucky guess. Now I can see that he was right. The beach was my happy place. I can sit in the sand all day, and watch the waves. The sun made an appearance that day. 

I like it best in mid-day, though the colours are lovely at dusk. 

I miss days like this at the beach in the South Coast just as much as I miss you. 

Whenever I’m stuck in my studio space working on projects, or just being a bum at home, I always yearn for the beach during sunny days like this. 

The photos were taken at the South Coast. I wish I was there right now, instead of staring at a desk piled with books. 

Since I was a little girl, going to exhibitions and art-related stuff has always been my thing. I think that a certain love for the art world will always remain in my heart regardless of where I am and who I’m with. In this case, my Mum and I went to the SCULPTURES BY THE SEA exhibition with my Nana and my step-dad. Coincidentally, the beautiful Princess Mary of Denmark, and her husband Prince Frederick were meant to be there in Bondi to award the outstanding sculptures. 

I know that this is a month or so late. So many things have happened in the course of a month- that I’ve neglected to post photos that I had taken. Anyway… Here are a few of my favourite shots of the day. 

The sculpture of the reindeer looking out to the ocean was my favourite. I think it’s title was equally as poetic. “When I grow up, I want to be a tree” or something along those lines.

Next year, I will make sure that I visit the SCULPTURES when there are remarkably less people and more opportunities to take photos. SCULPTURES BY THE SEA is held in between Bondi and Tamarama beach every November.
