View from the Balcony 10/12/09

A stillness is present with no detectable movement being felt. There is a light ocean mist in the air which extends right through to the Hinterland. The sun has risen behind closed curtains of light grey cloud and is leaving spotlights on the water to indicate that it is still with us. The slightly choppy dull blue sea is sending ever repetitive small late breaking waves towards the shoreline, where upon reaching the golden arms of the beach the waves melt away following a quick embrace. Surfers have gathered again at the Point and the Esplanade is being well utilised by the early morning jogging fraternity. The Hinterland is still shrouded with the layer of overnight cover and only the main outline of hills and valleys can be seen. Picturesque!
