I love this since my childhood days: I go through the dunes, I can only smell the sea at first, and I hear the cries of some sea gulls, and then - going slowly up a rise near the beach - I first hear the waves, and I feel the winds are getting stronger, and by and by I see something blue coming up ... and then, when I stand on top of the rise, imagine what I can see...
very much like starting something new at the beginning of a New Year!
