Halona Blowhole

Sandy Beach and Halona Blowhole

Action packed Sandy Beach where the Halona Blowhole makes a scene
There is only one way to paint this
Quick, with movement
Anything less vibrant would do it an injustice

If you stand where I parked my wobbley easel
and look towards this cliffline jetty
you will sway from the wind and be pulled in to the sea
This is not home to mermaids and fantasies
This is home to locals who know these waves like their own heartbeat

it's as real as it gets
plenty of boogie boarders that thought they could, failed
no mercy here,
but plenty of joy on the faces of those that are one with this current
