‘I need the sea because it teaches me.
I don’t know if I learn music or awareness,
if it’s a single wave or its vast existence,
or only its harsh voice or its shining
suggestion of fishes and ships.
The fact is that until I fall asleep,
in some magnetic way I move in
the university of the waves’

Pablo Neruda

Bathing Beauties is an Ode to the sea, In equal measures we love it and destroy it. We need to listen to it and let it teach us!

We swim on top of it, we don’t see whats underneath. The bathers are like statues, they are faded and are hanging in a moment. This beautiful underground other world will survive after us humans have disappeared.

“Though rich in places, Britain as a whole is one of the most nature-depleted places in the world,” Sir David Attenborough
