My first Thursday Challenge ! The theme for this week is "MOVEMENT" (Shaking, Falling, Bouncing, Jumping, Curling, Sagging,...)
What better way to describe movement than the swirling,lunging,whirling sea !
The following pics of whirlpools were taken at Awaji Island, that falls between the Japanese islands of Honshu and Shikoku. Its very famous for its huge and magnificent whirlpools known as the Naruto Whirlpools. These whirlpools are known to have a radius of 30 m at times.
We took a specially powered boat deep into the sea to see these whirlpools, and even though we were at a safe distance from them, it was scary and exhilarating at the same time!

ReplyDeleteLovely series. I love the abstract nature of these water shots... I mean, there isn't much there except lots of water. Yet they tells a story and create patterns.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved the concept of your blog title and thank you for sharing what Nirjharni actually meant :)
ReplyDeleteStaying on the theme of water, I liked the way you used the movement of whirlpools to go with the prompt. I can imagine how exhilarating and scary it must have been,but an adventure to cherish for a lifetime :)
It is scary and exhilarating just seeing the pictures! Wonderful.
