60’s Vibe

Surfers dot the waves at Mondos Beach, their figures framed against the rhythmic rise and fall of the ocean. In the grainy black-and-white tones, the scene evokes a timeless nostalgia, recalling the sun-drenched days of the past. The photograph captures the calm ritual of waiting for the right wave, a practice of patience and presence. It speaks to the quiet acceptance of the ocean’s rhythms—knowing that each swell, each moment, is part of a greater, unending cycle. Here, in the embrace of the sea, acceptance flows like the tide, teaching that peace is found not in resisting the waves, but in learning to ride them.
