Within 12 hours I was back at the same beach for Yelena's swimming. It is great if you live only a 10 minutes drive away from the beach! Low tide again and almost no haze, but unfortunately the sun doesn't rise from the sea. On the left you can see Yelena's group getting into the water. They looked and later said that the water was cold. These kids are really softies in that way, because according to the website with the tides the water temperature is 86F/30C :)
the sea in the middle east was never cold! but then since the tsunami in 2011 the world isn't the same anymore. lovely colours of the great expanse. aces!
Beautiful shot. They must be brave to go out to swim so early. The sea is always a bit colder at 8.20 to 9.00 when we go to swim than at 11.00ish when we leave. But the temperature is quite warm at 30c. I love the soft sunrise colours and the composition in your shot.
@sangwann They actually love it! We (3 mothers) asked them if they wanted to do this before school and they all said yes. And the sea isn't cold, but getting in sometimes is a little hard :)
@summerfield - The sea isn't cold at all, but these kids all have been growing up in warm climates and survived a summer in Muscat, so there reference is a little off :)
