As a contrast to the previous image, which involved the three elements earth, air and fire, here’s one with the fourth element, which is very important to me: Water.

Over the years, I have become more and more attracted to natural bodies of water, and nowadays, I can hardly pass by a mountain creek or lake without immersing myself in it. The sensations that year-round bathing in nature gives me are incomparably rejuvenating, exhilarating and healing for body and soul. Here I am at one of my favorite bathing locations nearby.

Challenge:
To find enough contrast at the only spot that’s deep enough to immerse myself completely.

Sound:
The repeated splashes of a hunting fish only a few meters away.

Lesson:
You really shouldn’t get your hair wet when you plan to go exploring afterwards at these temperatures.
